Hallo Dear all,

From many ears i carefully explored that VLC plays much better with manual input sampling rate capable.
For example, if the sound file is wav 44100 hertz, and maintained all soundcard 192000 hertz wrote in the audio-settings-audio output frecuency -44.100 x 4 = 176400 hertz, the sound is much better and more detailed!!! In newer versions this valuable option is missing. My request is how to add it in the configuration file or otherwise. Thank you!!!

A SD video track does not look better on an HD screen than on an SD screen of the same size. Similarly, upsampling a 44,1 or 48kHz audio track to 176,4 or 192 kHz does not improve audio quality. This is real life, not CSI.

You can still force the audio sample rate in your user ALSA configuration as before, but it is useless.
