My /etc/asound.conf file only contains that line and I don't have an .asoundrc. Even with: defaults.pcm.rate_converter "samplerate_best" I still get static and my CPU is idle. When I use samplerate_best in mpd my CPU is maxed. I've also tried samplerate, samplerate_medium, speex, and speex-float-3.
