What would you expect from such an area on the wiki?
It would have answered my questions without having to ask them here. I
will create a page soon with a summary of what we have discussed.
Then you can set resample-method in daemon.conf to src-sinc-best-quality.
That's what I figured. Thanks.
Indeed, Jack will not gain you anything over PA for this scenario.
I guess I should clarify. He wants to use Jack to have bit perfect
playback of even 44.1k streams. He hates upsampling that much.
Probably not beneficial, but I'm not sure, honestly. The only way to
know for sure is to listen and compare the difference. I mean, you
audiophiles can talk for hours about what's the best way to setup
things, but eventually it all comes down to what sounds best.
OK.
Well do you even understand why 96 kHz is better than 48 kHz? For the
same reason 192 is better than 96, be it with diminishing returns.
Than reason has nothing to do with our ability to hear ultasonic
soundwaves.
Yes, I know the definition of sample rate.
Sure, resampling does something with the audio sampling, but I'm not
quite sure what "averages samples" should mean.
Yep. I don't know what it means either. I think he has a personal
opinion that upsampling is evil.
Pulse can only have fixed sample rate set for a sink. (There are some
patches floating around to fix that, which sound like they would fix
your single-source use case perfectly, but they land post 1.0 at the
earliest) Given that, 96kHz is obviously a better choice for a fixed
sample rate, as you'd rather upsample your CD-quality stuff than
downsample the 96 kHz recordings.
Good to hear. Thanks for your comments.
If anyone has any other comments I will add them to the wiki page I will
create.
