 > Modern sound cards don't support changeable sampling rates anymore.
 Digital resampling is how things should be done. That's how Vista does it
 and MacOS too.

 This is not true. The Delta Audiophile 2496 is quite popular. I've seen it
 recomended as a high quality sound card in a couple of places and I think
 a fair number of linux users have those. For example the wiki of alsa and
 gentoo are full of example .asoundrc files for those cards. Saying that
 you won't support samplerate switching is saying that you won't support
 those cards. That would be a shame. Please reconsider this, especially
 since alsa worked quite reliably in this regard.

 For the record PA seems to only transmit 44.1k even when i lock the clock
 at 96k. That is clearly wrong. Alsa seems to even have a special control
 program for those card called envy24control. That has to prove that
 they're popular or somethin. :)
