This may be an obvious question, but what is the @args.0 {     type integer     } for? </div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> Is that what you meant by "Adding the argument removes the need to exit the profile." and if you did, I didn't understand at what point I had to exit the profile. Can you explain? Sorry if I'm being stupid.

It's really odd that the rate plugin is required even though everything is already configured at 48kHz. I will test tomorrow and if this is fine then I'll prepare a patch for upstream. Thanks for doing the groundwork for this bug. _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list <a ymailto="mailto:pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de" href="mailto:pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de">pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de</a> <a href="https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss" target="_blank">https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss</a> </div></div> </div> </body></html>
