[pulseaudio-discuss] [RFC] Dynamic reconfiguration of sampling rate

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Mark Brown at 18/01/11 11:51 did gyre and gimble:
> If you play a new message notification over a movie then if the
> notification is an MP3 at 44.1kHz and the movie is at 48kHz you need SRC
> as well as mixing, and even on a phone you may want to route things to

Without wanting to fork this thread, I think the routing is separate
from the SRC stuff (unless the hardware is suitably outsmarting us here!)
