Wouldn't headroom be needed for that? If the source is uncompressed you need to allow headroom for the peaks, so yes. As Arnold points out, this is always true, you need to keep it from distoriting the loudest parts. ... unless this is an intended effect. ... no rules.. /Robert _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
