- | The audio source has the device name **pulse* which means it will appear as a recording device for pulseaudio. It uses a sample rate of 48KHz, which is a common sample rate for an audio output. It could have been 44.1KHz. It's set in the **audio_rate** variable. | + | The audio source has the device name **pulse** which means it will appear as a recording device for pulseaudio.

The audio signal is passed to the **WBFM Transmit** module which gives the frequency modulated signal as the output. Its options **Audio Rate** and **Quadrature Rate** are the input sampling rate and the output sampling rate, respectively. | The audio signal is passed to the **WBFM Transmit** module which gives the frequency modulated signal as the output.
