#6635: HighQuality MPEG audio decoder (24-bit output). -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: forart.eu | Owner: nobody Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: R1 Component: Audio & Video/Codecs | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: mp3, mp2, mpeg, quality, high Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by stargatefan): My thought on this issue is that its better to just go ahead and decimate to 16 bit , namely becuase 90% of consumer hardware only outputs 16 bit file depths anyways. Very few 24 bit interfaces on the market. Support for those will be long in comming at the rates of progress wheras bit decimation is far easier to achieve with a quick dirty algorythm and the effect on the sound quality is at best imperceptual. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6635#comment:2> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
