that may very well be true but it would be in some very rare
circumstances and generally would be handeled by the host application.
typically what is more likely to occur is truncation and decimation to a
lower sample rate IE 48khz to 44.1 as 100% of audio gear supports 16b
44.1khz.
now where things get tricky in this situation is when you would be
mixing audio streams in a Digital workstation program. but those renders
should be handled by the host application not the media server as latency
correction acros multiple tracks could lead to some very big problems
later down the road. What should be allowable is a master bus output from
those applications as well as application control over input sources.
I would never want the Os to handle audio routing or encoding of the
digital media for a rendered wav file in a audio application. If anything
I want the Os out of the way as much as possiable.. It just flatly doesn't
make sense and no audio software I am aware of does so.
