So my MF DAC wasn't imagining things thenJackOfAll wrote:Ah, I've reproduced it. That stream is "broken", in as much as the reported datarate is obviously incorrect to start with. 56000kbps..... I really don't think so!
Steve, install the BBC iPlayer plugin and access the BBC streams from there.
Cheers Clive.

Ignore that, for some reason I forgot b = bit.Nick wrote:Back of the hand numbers would indicate that anything more than a 4:1 compression ratio would need bore than 44k1. Or have I got it wrong?JackOfAll wrote:96k sample rate from a 320kbps stream. Now that's what I call compression! Can't be right.

Anyway
I installed the plugin and the DAC now reports 44.1 KHz
I had been using the Tunein url
Amazing what you find.

No, I don't expect it to be available of R2 and R4 in was just that the reported sample rate of 96KHz and AAC format suggested something strange was going on, which turned out to be true.JackOfAll wrote:I'm getting myself confused here. I thought that live 320kbps was only available on R3 anyway. But going back to the first post in the thread, are you saying that you expect it to be available on R2 and R4?
The quality seemed to be better than the WMA stream I had been getting on tunein; this confused things even more.

Yes, thats my point (and mistake) is it was 320k byte a second, then if there was much more than a 4:1 compression ratio, the resultant stream would not fit in 44k1 sample rate. But of course the factor of 8 makes that entirely tosh.

Nobody apart from me was, that was my mistake.JackOfAll wrote:Either I'm even more confused than I think I am, or I just don't understand what you're trying to say. kbps = kilo bits per second. Who's talking about 320k byte a second? I don't follow.
