I could have sworn I just wrote about this -- email? wiki? But alas, I can't find a thing. In any regard ... Yes, you can only use 32KHz from the tuner with the saa713x. This is a hardware limitation of the chip in regards to handling of SIF sources. For further information, search through the V4L achieves using various "saa7134" or "saa713x" and "32KHz" and "alsa" combinations. There should be plenty of good info. (Example: http://marc.info/?l=linux-video&w=2&r=1&s=32KHz+saa7134&q=b) However, that said, I'm just thinking aloud here about this case, as this actually presents a curious question. Here goes: The NIM on these boards (TUV1236D) contains a TDA9887, which is capable of SIF demodulation, and hence, if utilised, would be feeding the saa713x a baseband audio signal for ADC. Yet, given that in field testing shows the 32KHz limitation, it would seem to indicate that the SIF capability of the TDA9887 is being ignored and that, instead, the broadcast audio is being sent straight to the saa713x for processing (ie. tuner -> saa713x for SIF demod & then ADC). I'm wondering if this is a case of: (1) hard wiring from the TUV1236D module (broadcast audio output) to the saa713x or (2) if there exist alternate pathways/routes in the TUV1236D for the audio signal i.e.: (i) tuner -> TDA9887 for SIF demodulation -> baseband audio to saa713x for ADC (ii) tuner -> saa713x for SIF demod & then ADC If it is a case of 2), then it is obvious that the later route (ii) is being utilized ... and, if it is a case of 2), then the obvious follow up question is: How do you enable the more desirable pathway (i) ? ... i.e. make use of the TDA9887 for SIF demodulation and feed the resultant baseband signal to the saa713x, which, consequently, would allow for the selection of sampling rates other then 32KHz during the ADC phase. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
