that's easy to check by disabling it, I'll try it.. AFAIU, ALSA supports any format and seldom triggers conversion code of audacity and/or portaudio. sndio backend uses sio_getacap() to return native parameters and lets portaudio/audacity do the necessary conversions, since it claims it can. As far as I understand portaudio internals, this is the ``right thing''. So I bet we trigger various bugs. I don't exclude there's a bug in sndio backend though. But, I wonder whether we shouldn't just claim that any format is supported and stop using sio_getcap() here. > I've used audacity with jack before, but if it's messig things up > for more normal/casual use, it can go. ardour only uses jack, so > the functionality I want will be replaced anyway. > agreed, if ardour works nobody will miss jack support in audacity. > it would alse be fewer dependencies of pjsua, when that gets switched > to using the in-tree portaudio port. > agreed. -- Alexandre
