Re: [linux-audio-dev] Fixed vs. floating point

[Georg Holzmann]

Hallo!

I am in the early planning stage of an audio processing application and I
have come to the point of making the choice between floating point or fixed
point (signed 2's complement) processing.
What do you think is better, and why? Why does jack use floating point? Why
it depends of course on the hardware: if you write e.g. your application 
for PDAs or Mobile Phones, then you will have to use fixed point (at 
least for now) ...
