Pavel:
Thanks for all your help and work on this project.
I'm using the Juli@ card because it supports 176.4KHz. The only other
candidates are much more expensive and bring their own problems.
I'm using Xine set for dolby/dts passthrough which seems to send the audio
data at its native rate. The resampling is bypassed (Dolby Digital would be
trashed otherwise).
I will try playing the files from the command line when I am next in front
of the system, tomorrow.
This is the Asound.conf:
Asound.conf (/etc)
pcm.asym_spdif {
type asym
playback.pcm "plughw:0,1"
capture.pcm "plughw:0"
}
pcm.!default asym_spdif
