Some admin please delete my user and posts and forget you ever heard about me and you all go back into your smug little selfasured world where outside idiots really aren't wanted.

Over and OUT, OUT, OUT ...

You've said this before and then come back anyway, so its probably better we just leave your account alone in case you decide to come back and throw yet another fit.

Might we consider some work on this for the summer of code?

* Bit depth: Rockbox will decode all formats to as high a bit depth as possible for both lossy and lossless formats. All internal processing is also done at 32 bits bit depth. However, all current targets truncate to 16 bits at the output. This can be fixed if someone cares enough about it to do some programming, but the DACs in current targets really aren't good enough for this to make much sense.

* Sample rate: Rockbox will decode higher sample rate files (like 96 kHz) just fine, but resamples to 44100 at the output, so some quality is lost (especially considering the extremely crappy resampler we use). Again, someone needs to care enough to do some programming to fix this, and it makes more sense to fix this problem than the bit depth problem.

Llorean:
I don't necessarily think it's really a GSoC scale project. At the very least, there are already several proposals that have a wider impact than this one would.

rmaniac:
I just think it would be nicer than things like.. scummvm. As much as I love it I just don't think it would be the most useful thing on rockbox. :)

Llorean:
"Nicer" doesn't necessarily factor into it as much as "is it an appropriate amount of work being proposed by someone capable of doing said amount of work."

All proposals that answer yes to *that* question then basically get sorted on "niceness" or "how much we want"-ness or "how confident we are they'll finish"
