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-.*

According to Alexander Patrakov's evaluation, both speex-float-5 and
speex-float-10 are same or better than libsamplerate's highest quality.
So far we've trusted his word on that. If you want to challenge that, I
suggest you do so on the pulseaudio-discuss mailinglist.
For reference, here's a
Thanks i'l take a look and make some tests too.

Hi,
Upstream has decided to phase out libsamplerate, as speex gives better
"bang for the buck", i e better audio quality for the same CPU or same
quality for less CPU.
Ubuntu Touch is apparently ahead of schedule - but expect the distro to
stop supporting these in the future:
If you want really high quality, you have to use libsamplerate whatsoever.
Why such a move by removing this?
There are cases where people dont care for "bang for the buck" but
rather "highest quality". With the removal of libsamplerate quality
drops significantly...
Is remove this a final
