i'm not sure how good the resampling is in alsa -- from my experience, the best upsampling you will get is from mplayer -- its processor-intensive, but its interpolation is good -- have a look at http://dalston.ku24.com/cluster/archives/000130.html for the settings i've used facing a similar pr

I've been testing Fedora Core 2 to see if ALSA recognizes my Intel 82801 sound hardware as a full duplex capable device. Yippe, it does. BUT... It seems as though some configuration within ALSA, somewhere... Is adding/mixing the sound that is being written to the speaker into the input stream
