My default.pa line has rate set at 48000 which I guess would take precedence: load-module module-alsa-sink device=Filter_RateConvert rate=48000 sink_properties=device.description=SPDIF sink_name=SPDIF) But just in case, I tried changing default-sample-rate = 48000 in daemon.conf. The error I got was: D: alsa-sink.c: snd_pcm_mmap_commit: Resource temporarily unavailable E: alsa-sink.c: Assertion 'err != -11' failed at modules/alsa/alsa-sink.c:395, function try_recover(). Aborting. BTW, I got the setup using a rate converter from here: http://www.johannes-bauer.com/linux/dolby/?menuid=3 where this chap says "# Rate Converter to 48kHz, needed for some applications" in his advanced set up. He didn't mention Pulseaudio, but it seems to do the trick. Regarding AC3 encoding in Pulseaudio - it would be better because at the moment switching between stereo and A52 is not possible (ie. I cannot have both these lines in default.pa: load-module module-alsa-sink device=Filter_RateConvert rate=48000 sink_properties=device.description=AC3 sink_name=AC3 load-module module-alsa-sink device=ALC889A_Digital sink_properties=device.description=SPDIF sink_name=SPDIF Presumably the SPDIF out is locked by one of them, then the other fails. With ac3 encoding in Pulseaudio, this would be switchable without editing any files.

Have you set the default sink frequency to 48kHz in /usr/etc/pulse/daemon.conf? This should handle resampling in PulseAudio. Still not clear why rewind doesn't work. - Pierre _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss at mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
