"Current sample rate" only has meaning with the device open , and if I
understand you right, a "cat

want as to the "get" part (substitute for 0 in the above as required).
I actually meant what kind of sample rate is set in sound card. For
example, my onboard sound card has fixed Hz. I would like to know such
information _before_ I touch sound card :)
Okay, you want the information that the driver author supplied in the struct
snd_pcm_hardware for the stream. I've in fact also wanted that information
on a number of occasions and just looked at the driver source then.
So you suggest to open device via any means and then read that file? I
did this and it works.
I guess I can even try to implement it in app and check for sample
rate everytime before I play.
But is this only solution? It's rather hack, and I would like to have
more reliable method.
You might consider this less of of a hack -- it uses the ALSA API to query
the information from the PCM handle directly. Please see the library
docoumentation for other information you can extract from a hw_params struct.
(I don't suppose you can ever get anything but dir == 0 for "hw" devices).
Introducing a /proc/asound/card0/pcm0{p,c}/hw_limits or similar might not be
a bad idea though?
