Dear Takashi,
Thanks for your response. I've tried the patch. It's seems be better now. But something seems still to be wrong.
At the start of the playback a short sequence seems to be outputed twice. Please have a look at the attached screenshot from my oszi. The screenshot shows playback of a sine with 440Hz.
The length of the sequence outputed twice is different for every samplerate conversion factor. If I go from 8kHz to 48kHz, it's 2.6 millisec long. If I go from 22.025kHz to 48kHz, it's 900 microsec long. So it seems to be a fixed count of samples.
Regards Andreas

Hello,
I'm new to this list.I hope someone could help me with a problem concerning the samplerate converter plugins of the alsa driver.
Firstly some facts about my application.
- Envy24 (VT1270) pci audio chip on a custom mainboard
- playback of sounds/music with different sample rates from 8kHz to
48kHz (sample rate of the files)
- the hardware (Envy24 chip) must always run with 44.1kHz or 48kHz
(selectable by user), because the audio is outputed by a DAC and SPDIF and the SPDIF clock must not be changed according to the sample rate of the files.
- Kernel is 2.6.22 and alsa is 1.0.14
So I'm using the samplerate (libsample rate based) plugin from the alsa-plugin package. Generaly it works very good.
My problem is: Every time a playback is started a short plop noise is heard. The noise is on analog and SPDIF output. If I don't use the samplerate converter the noise is not heard at all. So it comes definitely from the rate converter plugin, I think. Changing the quality level of the plugin don't solve the problem.
Could you try the patch below for alsa-plugins?
I've also switched to the new Speex rate converter plugin. With this plugin there is no noise at the start of playback. But here I have trouble with awful noise at some rate conversions (6kHz(source) -> 48kHz(output); 11.025kHz -> 44.1kHz; 22.05kHz -> 44.1kHz). So it's even worse than using the libsamplerate plugin. Finaly I've tried the libavcodec plugin, which is the worst according to noise.
I can confirm the noise (like flanger effect) at 11025 -> 44100 conversion, too, but no at others. Since 11024 -> 44100 works fine, it appears specific to quater or so.
