MPD and ALSA use what the audio device reports that it supports as far as bit depth and sample rates go to determine "Output rate". For example if an audio device reports that it only accepts 32-bit word length then ALSA will zero-pad 16 and 24 bit format to 32-bit.
Thanks, then this looks like all is well and there's no unnecessary up/down sampling going on just what the hardware needs. Thanks for the friendly greeting, I will keep reading the forum and open my own threads once I hit a snag, let me not pollute this introductory thread any further. :-)
