[Discuss-gnuradio] Increasing ALSA Sampling Rate

Is it possible to increase the maximum sampling rate for audio_alsa?

I am experimenting with using a modified TV tuner card as an ADC. The
card uses a Bt878a chipset. arecord can record from the card at 1972000
rate and GRC shows the maximum rate as 1972000, but GNUradio can only
sample at 896000.

Running GNUradio at 1972000 rate gives the following error-

audio_alsa_source[hw:2,1]: get_period_size failed: Invalid argument
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/top_block.py", line 81, in <module>
tb = top_block()
File "/root/top_block.py", line 49, in __init__
self.audio_source_0 = audio.source(samp_rate, "hw:2,1", True)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gnuradio/audio_alsa.py",
line 241, in source
return _audio_alsa.source(*args, **kwargs)
RuntimeError: audio_alsa_source

Is there some setting change that can enable the 1792000 rate?

Thanks,
George
