I'm lucky in having an external DAC which displays the format it is
being fed. So I could immediately see it was being given 44.1k when I
played a 96k file. Anyone without such a hardware display may simply
not know that the sound was being needlessly degraded.

I don't know about USB, but for others you can see what is being fed to
the h/w by doing (while playing something) -

cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params

Of course the numbers may need changing to suit setup.

Thanks for pointing that out. :-) I'll either add it as an extra to the
existing page, or include it on a future page.

Slainte,

Jim
