What happens if user's audio card cannot support 48kHz

[kmaclean]

Need code to poll user's audio card, and select highest rate it supports

Something like:

float javax.sound.sampled.AudioFormat.getSampleRate()

Obtains the sample rate. For compressed formats, the return value is the sample rate of the uncompressed audio data. When this AudioFormat is used for queries (e.g. AudioSystem.isConversionSupported(AudioFormat,AudioFormat) AudioSystem.isConversionSupported) or capabilities (e.g. DataLine.Info.getFormats() DataLine.Info.getFormats), a sample rate of AudioSystem.NOT_SPECIFIED means that any sample rate is acceptable. AudioSystem.NOT_SPECIFIED is also returned when the sample rate is not defined for this audio format.

See Also:

getFrameRate() AudioSystem.NOT_SPECIFIED

Returns:

the number of samples per second, or AudioSystem.NOT_SPECIFIED

no longer an issue, most hardware from past 5 years supports 48hHz-16bit recording
