From: Martin Blanchard <tchaik@xxxxxxx> ALAC encoding is to be prefered simply because ALAC audio packet reverse- engineering and implementation is in better shape than raw PCM. Sending ALAC audio does not mean compressing audio and thus linking an external library to do so. ALAC packets has the ability to carry uncompressed PCM frames, and that's what is implemented at the time. --- src/modules/raop/module-raop-discover.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/modules/raop/module-raop-discover.c b/src/modules/raop/module-raop-discover.c index 6e2542a..bf05dec 100644 --- a/src/modules/raop/module-raop-discover.c +++ b/src/modules/raop/module-raop-discover.c @@ -200,7 +200,10 @@ static void resolver_cb( * - 1 = ALAC, * - 2 = AAC, * - 3 = AAC ELD. */ - cn = pa_xstrdup("PCM"); + if (pa_str_in_list(value, ",", "1")) + cn = pa_xstrdup("ALAC"); + else + cn = pa_xstrdup("PCM"); } else if (pa_streq(key, "md")) { /* Supported metadata types: * - 0 = text, -- 2.9.3
