nforce2 spdif and ogg123

[Gunther Laure]

Hi,

I followed the discussion: "optical SPDIF output on Abit NF7 nforce2
main board".

I am using a similar Epox Mainboard with SPDIF in/out. Currently i am
using the todays cvs alsa version and have two questions:

Using gqmgeg which uses ogg123 to play ogg files, ogg123 seems to have
the samplerate (48kHz) problem mpg321 had in the above discussion.
What is my chance to reduce the play speed. Alsaplayer works fine, but
as it is not embeddable in gqmpeg its not an option. Maybe it is
possible to define the samplerate in .asoundrc ?

Second, is it now possible to use SPDIF loopthrough, as a want to use
the SPDIF in of my board?

Thanks in advance,
Gunther

did you make sure that you were using the plughw device? its possible
that for various reasons the hw device can't support the desired
sample rate, and if gqmpeg is anything like a lot of this code, it
doesn't check to see that the rate was set correctly.
