So now I come back to my original question: why do you need both the rate and the offset? Isn't it enough to set just the rates, as long as that is in fixed point format? Why does the driver need both the 'ideal' rate + the offset? I'm not opposed to this, I'm just trying to understand whether this makes sense. Can't you take e.g. the source and dest rate as starting points when you start streaming? And every time userspace updates one or both of these rates you calculate the ratio_mod compared to the previous rates? Or is there a reason why you need the ideal rates as well? E.g. 48000 or 44100, etc. Regards, Hans
