Description
for some reason (maybe hardware drive or some bug in libsdl) audio frequencies > than 48000 does not play correctly on my system with ffplay, so I would like to request env variable where I could set max freq which would be allowed for ffplay to use (for example 48000).

Replying to Cigaes:
Adding a feature to work around an unknown problem, possibly in other software, does not seem like a sane idea. You should at the very least make sure whether this is a hardware, driver, SDL or ffmpeg bug.
since I have AC'97 (integrated) sound card then I'm probably limited to 96kHz, so mentioned variable would fix a problem for me
(I can reproduce the same problem with WinAMP as well with selected DirectSound? output)

I do not feel that "probably" is enough to warrant work on such a feature.

I just tried: here, ffplay can perfectly well play audio beyond the capabilities of the hardware.

That confirms that it is not a ffplay bug.
Until you can confirm what exactly is the problem, implementing anything would be shooting in the dark, that is not a proper way of maintaining software.

Did you test on Windows (DirectSound?)?

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to invalid
I can get a correct audio output for freq > 48kHz when I browse in Window's explorer (after running FFplay), so there is a sound of "click" generated by Windows and this releases playback in FFplay :/
