Re: Some more questions about sample rate notifications

Indeed, I am ending with a *very confused aggregate device* that "lost" it's output device!!
What am I supposed to do in this situation??

There is no middle ground where you can slam the sample rate like you are trying to do.

OK, that is good to know. But if even Apple GarageBand does not do the *right thing* ??

Sorry but you do not anwer the basic question:

- an application (like Max/MSP or Ableton Live) or even the user using Audio Midi Setup is changing the SR of a *real* device used in an aggregate one.

- the aggregate device get confused: it's output part (for example) just disappear .

- the aggregate device then is not "duplex" anymore!!

- trying to setup back the current SR is not a good strategy OK, OK

- what I am I supposed to do in my application? (which is actually a server that cannot warn the user so easily). Just fail??

I understand that maybe a lot of applcations are not doing the right thing. The question is WHAT TO DO NOW?

Thanks again
