it does. on most modern CPUs, the FPU is as fast or faster than the integer unit for arithmetic. the optimized float<->int/short conversion we use consumes an infinitesimal number of cycles. and besides, the fact that you'd probably have a context switch is a far greater cost (though internal clients avoid this). anyway, i don't advocate JACK for all uses - it was designed for pro-audio primarily - but its basic design does demonstrate how to do certain things that most people find really hard to do. --p ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
