[mythtv-users] mythmusic and spdif not working

[William]

ASAIK most mp3's play at 32KHz while your input is expecting 48KHz which is
why it plays fast. You need to redo your .asoundrc to use a mode that does
conversion of bitrates. I have not yet gotten 5.1 to work with myth however
it does a good job of passing the dolby prologic signal imbedded in some
programming which produces 5.1 sound. YMMV.
 
I am using the generic .asoundrc from the wilsonet howto and a reaonably
recent version of SVN.

Hello all, 

Last weekend I started playing with my new receiver JVC RX-E12. Goal was to
connect it via
an optical cable to my mythtv centre. 
I configured ALSA via /etc/asound.conf:
pcm.!default {
     type plug 
     slave {
          pcm "spdif"
          rate 48000
          format S16_LE
     }
}
ctl.!default {
     type hw
     card 0
}

The problem is that mythmusic doesn't respond well to this. Almost all mp3s
play very fast (about 10 sec per song, barely recognizable like skipping
through it very fast). Only songs with 48khz sampling rate seem to play
fine.  Playing with for instance mpg321 is fine for all mp3s. My setup is:
shuttle ST62K. soundchip atiixp, debian testing and mythtv/mythmusic 0.19.
Can anyone give me a pointer on how to get this going?

Related question: How can I get 5.1 working? speaker-test -c6 only gives me
2 channels. xine also doesn't add much more..

Regards,

Bert Haverkamp
