Hi there.
I noticed that the alsa input module in IceS 2.0-Beta4 have some
problems with sample rates.
The problem derives from the fact that the sample rate is set by a call
to snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near() in the ALSA API. This means that if
you specify a sample rate that your ALSA driver soes not like, ALSA will
choose the nearest possible sample rate instead.
In the present im_alsa.c this yields no warning, which may confuse some
people (it certainly confused me). For further information on this,
please read my posts on icecast@xiph.org (subject "Server drops client -
problem with IceS?")
Anyway, I have made a small patch for the im_alsa.c that gives you a
warning in the log, when this happens. I attach it here - I hope you
will use it.
