Some instruction can be found here for instance: There you go, commit 976b6c064a957445eb0573b270f2d0282630e9b9 Author: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Sep 24 15:51:58 2013 -0400 ALSA: improve buffer size computations for USB PCM audio Note that amongst other things, this patch removes the ability to pass the "nrpacks" parameter to the snd-usb-audio driver, but I would tend to think that the cracks/jitter have to do due with the new URB allocation code. In fact, I can confirm that running the predecessor tree (e8bc994), the phenomenon doesn't happen, with or without this parameter. >> - Now When xbmc plays 24/192 content correctly, all I know is that >> /proc/asound/card/*/stream* confirms that the steam is 24/192, but xbmc >> must be either doing something to the stream, or streaming it a little >> bit differently than sox/aplay. Now again, as said in my previous email, my observations are essentially valid for this specific version of xmbc. aplay, sox, and all other audio apps I have toyed with to playback 24/192 content are subject to similar cracks/jitter, whatever the kernel. Don't hesitate to let me know if I can help in any way. -- Julien Benoist ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
