Thanks, I'd like to try that. Here's what I have:
# cat /root/.asoundrc
pcm.my_device {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.my_device_44 {
type plug
slave {
pcm my_device
rate 44100
}
}
Relevant mpd.conf section:
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "USB Monica"
device my_device_44"
}
I've also tried:
audio_output {
type "my_device_44"
name "USB Monica"
}
I've rebooted but I get an error from mpd when trying to play music:
"problems opening sound device". The files are definitely 16/44.1.
Do you see what could be wrong?
