[linux-audio-user] Edirol UA 1EX @ 44.1kHz

Hi folks, a friend of mine has a collection of mp3 files which all are based on 44.1kHz. Using a soundcard which only supports 48kHz makes it necessary to resample the audio material before outputting it to the card/speakers. To avoid the resampling, he's looking for an USB audio card which runs well on Linux (preferably with the snd_usb_audio-module) and natively supports 44.1kHz in hardware. One choice could be the Edirol UA 1EX, but I haven't found any resource which clearly states that it is running well on Linux, even at 44.1kHz. On http://www.roland.com/products/en/UA-1EX/ I can read »Supports both advanced and OS-standard drivers (Win/ Mac OS X), selected with ADVANCED DRIVER.« but I also see http://www.linux-m32r.org/lxr/http/source/sound/usb/usbquirks.h /* TODO: add Edirol UA-1EX support */ Can anyone give me a wee small hint whether the device works or not? If so, any experiences with material at 44.1kHz? Best regards ce
