IMHO we should think on a good solution for this problem. Some cards have many channels/voices but the sample rate is common for all of them. Currently the only clean way to manage it is a control that locks the sample rate at a given frequency, but it isn't a nice solution because it requires explicit user intervention. In the echoaudio driver I implemented a kludge that automatically locks the sample frequency in order to avoid unwanted rate changes. -- Giuliano. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
