Hi,
You could also try:
dd if=/dev/dsp1 of=/dev/null bs=128
Let it run for a while and compute the bitrate. I'm really surprised if your
Logitech announces that it supports 48K and simply outputs 16K. It would be
the latest great example of USB specification violation!
A dump of the descriptors using usbconfig and "sysctl hw.usb.uaudio.debug=15"
would also be appreciated.
