This is my first post to Linux Audio. I had a look at
alsa_in/out programs, and
the man page says it performs drift compensation for drift between the two
clocks.
drift compensation equals resample or Sample Rate Conversion (SRC)
A resample step is used in many places and used to be quite bad (AC97
relies on this to derive all required Sample rates from 48k... in some
cards even 48k goes through SRC) so in a longer recording the left track
and the right may be two different lengths. However, things have gotten a
lot better. BTW, the zita-ajbridge gives better quality and uses less CPU
than alsa_in/out. I believe the Zita SRC libs are available as a separate
package as well.
A lot of broadcast oriented Audio cards offer SRC on each digital (aes3)
input so that the output is sample aligned.
I would like to know more about the implementation
details such as the drift
compensation using PI controller. Any paper/presentation documents available
other than the C code. Please share me the details.
