I just make sure my default pulse device is the built-in sound card and I use either the A-Q or a XONAR-DX with the Bifrost via optical for music, and I set Guayadeque or mpd to work with the appropriate device. > > > -- Chris Hermansen · clhermansen "at" gmail "dot" comC'est ma façon de parler. > Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. Yes I thought about that before and set a gap of 1 second between tracks: same result. So I upgraded my kernel to the latest 3.14 on OpenSuse 13.1 and the behavior is different. I still can not play tracks with different sample rate but if I stop the play with mediacenter and start it again, it works. It's far from perfect, but better an a way. I see in messages this message when I try to play the first time: linux-htpc kernel: [ 7476.413271] ALSA sound/usb/clock.c:391 current rate 96000 is different from the runtime rate 44100 When I stop the play: linux-htpc kernel: [ 7576.789042] ALSA sound/core/pcm_native.c:1544 playback drain error (DMA or IRQ trouble?) Then when I play again, it works fine without further logs. The guys at JRiver think it is a firmware error. I doubt that. So I have no more idea in mind to carry on my investigation. Any ides guys? Thank you.
