If I specify "-ao alsa", mplayer calls snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near() with a value of 44100. The call fails and returns an error code. If I specify "-ao alsa:device=hw=0.0", snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near() does not fail, even though it's being passed the same parameters. So what is it about the default device that makes snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near() fail? _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
