This is usually much faster. mmmh... on current Debian stable (Etch) ALSA is at 1.0.13 and it looks like "speexrate" is not available. :( Thus, I've tried to backport all the alsa stuff (libasound2*, alsa-*, etc) from unstable, where it's at ver. 1.0.16. I've also created a trivial ~/.asoundrc with the line: defaults.pcm.rate_converter "speexrate_best" Apparently everything went fine, but when I've tried to listen to some music, I've got a lot of skips. :-( Just to make sure, I went back to 1.0.13 and everything was fine. Then I've updated again to my backported 1.0.16 packages all but libasound2-plugins (which is the one which contains "speexrate" et all) and still no problem. OK, I put back also the plugins: Skips again. Tried without "_best" (just "speexrate"): perhaps a bit better, but still skips. Tried with "samplerate": ditto (skips). Tried with "lavcrate": seems to be ok. Thus, now the question is: it's that a bug in my backport (perhaps some incompatibilities with the older compiler and libs in Etch) or a bug in the Debian package and/or in the particular version of Alsa in the package? ...or it's just that it takes up way too much CPU and the system where I've tried it (an old 1.6GHz Centrino Laptop, running in powersave mode during the test) simply can't stand it?!? :-/ BTW, here is the output of alsa-info.sh on the system: http://pastebin.ca/998208 Ciao, Paolo. -- Skype: Paolo.Saggese http://borex.lngs.infn.it/saggese You can still escape from the GATES of hell: Use Linux! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
