So, continuing the thoughts in my last post...

If it's indeed impossible to change sample rates, etc... Would it be possible to make some kernel modifications to enable the playing of formats other than 16-bit 44.1khz stereo? I mean this is REALLY limiting for a product whose primary purpose is as an audio player! I know this locking was chosen to keep the visuals in sync with the audio, but is that saying that there are no ways to keep the visuals in sync and still be able to accept other formats?
