ffplay unable to play 352800 Hz wav file (pulse audio has a hard limit of 192kHz)

[pross]

ffplay is unable to play 352800 Hz wav file. the same file plays back in audacity perfectly.

How to reproduce:

% ffplay test_352800hz.wav

This works fine here so I would assume a problem with SDL.

After further tests - with export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse instead of export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa which I have in my .bashrc - it appears to me that this is just a limitation of pulse (which audacity maybe doesn't use), I can also reproduce it with mplayer test_352800hz.wav -ao alsa vs mplayer test_352800hz.wav -ao pulse.

Pulse has hard limit of 192kHz sample rate

[DonMoir]

For me, I have a hard limit of 200khz, so choosing to just half / quarter the sample rate when over 200khz for efficiency since the sample rate is so high to begin with.

Would like to get some more and longer samples with over 200khz if available.

Look for 'DXD' (24/352.8 kHz PCM .WAV)

Thanks, perfect

This should be fixed in 0c8d8c0c80671fd592697fee5ca7e645c26d2da9, reopen if not.
