I don't get the point of your message explaning what dither is. My whole point was that one of the sources of the perceived difference between how sox resamples and hows aucat resamples might be dithering, as aucat does not differ (right?). On Jan 09 17:01:52, g...@oat.com wrote: > The math goes

OpenBSD newbie here. While trying to backup my OpenBSD configs to my Arch Linux box, I noted a discrepancy between the openrsync(1) manpage examples and what I encountered. The steps to reproduce are as follows: ``` $ uname -a OpenBSD oberon.taranjali.org 7.2 GENERIC.MP#758 amd64 $ touch foo

Hi all, Just for the security-minded: run ldd xterm | wc -l Then do the same for sakura, alacritty or whatever your favourite term happens to be. I'm still mulling over whether I should straight up switch to the one with the least dependencies or just continue with xterm. Any thoughts? tia!

Signal processing which modifies the data stream -must- (almost) always dither. Without that it introduces -significant and audible- distortion. That has been standard practice in digital audio for more than 50 years. That is why sox dithers by default. Dithering is also known as noise shaping.
