Trial and errors ? Yes and no. Some Windows ASIO drivers refused to do anything but that for some Behringer USB card and worked with stuff as ridiculously low as 24. And if you try converting period sizes to millisecs, you need that factor of 3. The Opus Codec has as smallest standard size 120 samples @48kHz (2.5msec) . Stuff like that. 48kHz needs that factor of 3 to map nicely to millisecs. It doesn't make a superb amount of sense to me I'll readily admit. Maybe the actual rule is "avoid powers of 2" for some drivers and/or hardware, and 3x2^n is about as far from a power of 2 as you can get. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
