Not that tape hiss should be a standard we compare everything to :) A little peeve with some so called "pro" audio servers is their inability to act as a 'digital wire', ie: what goes in comes out, totally unchanged. As an example, there are times you may want the same exact 16 bits you send out of app to arrive at the audio device unmolested. Jack, AFAIK, will always convert this to a 32 bit float. Regardless of quality arguments, what the engineer wants the engineer should get and the software, no matter what its very sane defaults are, should be flexible enough to allow it. -- Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
