Audio stream will be converted to format specified +in prefs win (currently FMT_S16_NE and FMT_S24_NE). Dithering will be applied automatically if +precision loss expected (except FMT_*32_*, on which dithering can cause clipping). + +For full list of available formats see plugin.h + +Known issues: + +1. postproc_flow can deal only with S16_NE streams, so it will be bypassed in 24bit mode, i.e.: no vis, no equalizer, no softvolume. +2. Currently none of output plugins supports 24bit output :) + +Possible solution: + +1. It's easy to produce S16_NE stream directly from decoder's output special for vis_flow, as far as the latter has no output. +2. Switch equalizer and softvolume (and, in perspective, DSP PAPI) to floating-point. Another solution can cause precision + loss and avoid dithering. Why floating-point, not fixed? Because: + 1. libsamplerate requires it. + 2. Floating-point is standard for inter-component and inter-process audio exchange (LADSPA, JACK etc.). + +Have a look at proposed_pipeline.dia + +-- asphyx
