[Touch-packages] [Bug 1494155] Re: [mako] pulseaudio resample methos missing src-sinc-*

2015-11-05 Thread Tynach
Nowhere in either the parent post, nor in the comments, is 'bang for the
buck' even talked about. The entire thing seems to be about choosing a
higher quality default sampling method due to the availability of faster
CPUs. In fact, libsamplerate is never mentioned by name, and src-sinc-.*
are only mentioned by listing them with a few others and deeming them
'indistinguishable'.

HOWEVER, in the comments they *do* mention that upsampling causes more
distortion than downsampling, and that sampling rates further apart
cause more than sampling rates closer together. This isn't terribly
important most of the time, except...

... Pulseaudio only supports configuring two sample rates at a time. So
you have a default lower one, and if an audio source has a higher sample
rate, it'll be upsampled to the alternative, higher sample rate.

So what if your alternative sample rate is much higher? I have a sound
card that supports 192000, what if I'm curious what that sounds like? I
have a fairly fast CPU (i7-4790K with hyperthreading disabled so that
each core works as fast as possible), and I have that set up as my
alternative sampling rate.

But the graphs only test conversion from 44100 to 48000. I have a
feeling that the differences will be *much* more noticeable on a setup
converting from 48000 to 192000.

But now I can't compare using src-sinc-.* because its been removed. And
seemingly with no discussion or reason.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1401623] Re: 1002:674a [HP Z620 Workstation] Corrupted mouse cursor on one of the screens

2015-03-01 Thread Tynach
Christopher, it is unlikely that any automated tool is ever going to
capture this bug any more than it already has. It is much more
beneficial to find out why it might NOT happen, than why it DOES happen.
What's more, is that it seems that this bug is in the proprietary driver
upstream... So the most helpful thing we could do to get this fixed, is
to show how many people are affected.

Because the current way of doing things does not in any way show how
many people are affected, the current way of doing things will simply
not help. It is utterly flawed, and those articles don't help to address
this matter. For one thing, those articles are written with crashes and
bad behavior within open source software in mind - neither of which is
the case here.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1401623] Re: Corrupted mouse cursor on one of the screens

2015-02-28 Thread Tynach
I'm on 14.10 using an AMD Radeon R9 290X, and having the same issue. The
fact that we're supposed to make new bug reports every time someone's
hardware is slightly different or a new version of Ubuntu comes out is
mildly infuriating, because it makes it seem as if there are fewer
people with this issue than there really are. I've seen tons of bug
reports with almost no activity, probably because people just went to
nVidia and never bothered to check back here.

This problem seems to happen with all AMD display adapters when there
are 2 or more monitors, with very few exceptions. I feel that studying
those exceptions separately from when it *doesn't* work will be more
helpful, because not working seems to be the norm.

If there is a 'central' bug report for this issue that hasn't been
marked 'invalid' because it was started on an old version of Ubuntu,
please point me to it. If you tell me to just make another bug report,
please tell me why that will help in any way, shape, or form. Seriously.
It's not helped the countless people so far, and the chances of it
helping me seem nil.
