High pitch sound usb dac on latest armv6hf (streaming radio only) about squeezelite HOT 8 CLOSED

Sounds like the radio station is playing at a sample rate not supported by the 
dac?  Can you post the output of debugging "-d all=debug" for this case?

Eventually after 10 secs of chipmunks singing it will stop playing anything.

Thanks

Is this player synchronized or do you have mp3 proxying via the server set?  I 
don't understand why the radio stream is being played via the server rather 
than direct.

It is synced with another squeezebox in the lounge, I will test this without 
the synchronization and let you know. 

BTW: I have tried PicorePlayer and the same problem exists. I have also been 
testing different settings and I can get the device to operate perfectly with 
-b 300:300 on both Raspi and PicorePlayer (have to prefix alsa device with 
hw:on on the Picoreplayer). Does this makes sense to you? Thanks.

Please retest with latest versions - there are more options for resampling 
unsupported rates in the latest 1.4 beta.  You need to have libsoxr installed 
and start squeezelite with -R E to use these.

I had chipmunk-like music with previous versions, but 1.4 with that -R E seems 
to have cleared everything up for me.  I've been running on 1.4 for 4 days so 
far and zero problems.

Closing as fixed by 1.4 with -R E option
