i own a gina 3G. i don't think, it has such a chip. anyway, never had heard,
how to obtain an extra SRC Chip on any soundcard. has ALSA/Jack the
possibilty to do such a thing?

As i have read today, Spdif seems close to AES/EBU, which doesn't sent sample
rate information. so, there seems to be different implementations in different
Players. Some are better, some not. So, i have no chance to check that in any
way except hearing. hmm.

What a pity, i need it in realtime. ;=(
i have written a software, which mixes some files. and now i want to add the
possibility to add external sources like a CD Player.

but thanks for your thoughts
