Hello,
i want to grab some external sources (cdplayer) with jack. i run a jack
instance with 48000 Hz and it works perfectly with my cd player and
ardour. but if i take a cheaper cdplayer, the signal will only be came in
with 44100, because there seems no resample and sync between the master
(soundcard) and slave (cheapoCD) . so, the signal will always being
played to slow. i found a workaround with a small external box, which
resamples the incoming signal before it get into the soundcard.
Your spdif sound card might have a sample rate converter. If it did,
most likely the work flow would be to set jack at 48k and then just play
normally and the sound card would convert from the incoming 44.1k to the
48k it is set to. The SRC chip in your sound card (again, presuming it
has one, which I think is likely) is probably similar to whatever is in
the external box you've tried.
i own a gina 3G. i don't think, it has such a chip. anyway, never had heard,
how to obtain an extra SRC Chip on any soundcard. has ALSA/Jack the
possibilty to do such a thing?
As i have read today, Spdif seems close to AES/EBU, which doesn't sent sample
rate information. so, there seems to be different implementations in different
Players. Some are better, some not. So, i have no chance to check that in any
way except hearing. hmm.
Unless there is a real need to do this in realtime, say for a live
performance,
What a pity, i need it in realtime. ;=(
i have written a software, which mixes some files. and now i want to add the
possibility to add external sources like a CD Player.
but thanks for your thoughts
