I've never thought the dither option in Jack made sense to me. > Jack should be a patch bay, not a processor. Too many options for mistakes. JACK has to be able to dither - its receiving float data and outputting ints - you cant reasonably ask every app to add dither to its outputs for the case when thier going to ALSA, or for the user to attach a dithering client to the output of every app that goes to ALSA. > You *might* consider having 2 outputs from Jamin - dithered and > undithered - so that possibly you could A/B the two. Please time align > the two if you ever do add an option like this. I was imagining you would be able to switch the dither on the fly in the UI. - Steve
