I do hear glitches with "plughw:0" that I don't hear when using OSS. It sounds like distortion during the music's peaks. I guess this is due to libasound? > Another option could be that your device doesn't support the 24-in-32 > format, but only the packed 24 bit format. That's not supported by > MPD (yet).

I checked with the manufacturer on this and they don't think a USB DAC can support 24-in-32 because the USB driver would chop off anything above 24. Do you think this explains why "hw:0" doesn't work? The DAC supports up to 24/96. > I believe that the ALSA-OSS emulation enables dmix, and therefore also > plughw. I definitely hear glitches from plughw and none when OSS is defined. - Grant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
