#1351: aliasing is heared with playback 44.1kHz files on 48kHz system sample rate -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: nutela | Owner: pulkomandy Type: bug | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Kits/Media Kit | Version: R1/pre-alpha1 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: x86 | Blocking: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by bonefish): Replying to [comment:16 stargatefan]: > Well in certain case resampling is the only option as hardware may only support one type of input and files are in another. no argument there. My concern is that mixer is really becoming more then it needs to be. whiles it great the I can watch 6 videos and listen to dozens of mp3's and or wav files all at the same time. Its not a very practical design for the end user. > > Try listening to 2 different songs as the same time. Its just not something the human brain would want to do. If you listen to music and another application (chat for instance) plays a notification sound, some component has to mix the two. And that's the mixer's job. I suspect that there are workflows where audio people use more than one sound generating application at a time. Again, the mixer's job. > there are lots of times where I change output resolutions in DAWS to see how things are sound at various bit depths, 32,24 and 16 bit and different bit rates. > > So the DAW needs to be able to control these things. Good that all of this is possible already. If an application just wants to control the hardware node's parameters, it can use the respective parameter web -- that's exactly what the media preferences application is doing. If the application wants full control over the output, it can disconnect the mixer and directly connect to the hardware's node (this would, of course, shut up all other applications). So I don't see a show stopper for whatever kind of audio application you have in mind. At any rate, if you want to discuss the design of Haiku's media framework, please use one of the mailing lists. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/1351#comment:17> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
