There's nothing bad audible neither at 0.0 and also not if it's very low, e.g. -10.0, only the loudness does differ, at least for my hearing. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
