Actually, after thinking about this, I suspect it's unavoidable in this situation, even if the data rates are "matched". Where's the master clock? My interface (E-MU 1616m) can be clocked from a digital input (SPDIF or ADAT), or it can be internally clocked. If I am playing back files, the interface provides the clock for the computer. But if the data is coming from the Internet, that data cannot but be separately clocked, but it can't provide the master clock for the interface - it just hasn't the stability, and buffering will get in the way and so on. My present method of recording goes through the interface, so it seems to me that resampling is unavoidable - the only way to get around that would be to have a method of recording the stream from the Internet directly without playing it out to the interface. Maybe TotalRecorder taps in to the audio stream before the SRC - I must look into that. Or maybe I just don't understand digital audio properly, or at least the Internet aspect of it. Oh, and I understand that the current Windows SRC is pretty good, actually.
