[ecasound] Problems with 24/96 over stdin

Hi there.

I am using ecasound - due to its superior performance as audio engine - I
use Music Player Daemon as a nice network capable (through firefox)
front end. This also allows me to manipulate the datastream with ecasound.

Music Player daemon (the current git revision) allows to pipe a stream to
stdout. I configured ecasound to read from stdin.

It is working well on 16/44.1 material, on 24/96 is is not working with
ecasound.

Routing 24/96 into aplay works.

This could mean that I have an issue on the ecsound side.

Below you'll see the pipe setup for the different cases.

ecasound:

OK:

| ecasound -q -f:s16_le,2,44100,i -b:64 -i:stdin -o:alsaplugin,0,0
2>/dev/null

NOK: (output is heavy noise)

| ecasound -q -f:s24_le,2,96000,i -b:64 -i:stdin -o:alsaplugin,0,0
2>/dev/null

aplay:

OK:
aplay -t raw -D plughw:0,0 -f S24_LE -c 2 -r 96000 2>/dev/null

What am I doing wrong here?

I am running 1.0.19 Alsa.

I also started ecsound with -ddd. Like that:

| ecasound -ddd -q -f:s24_le,2,96000,i -b:64 -i:stdin -o:alsaplugin,0,0
>/tmp/eca.log 2>&1

the only message I've seen is "(eca-session) Set debug level to: 511"

THX for your support.

Klaus
