Re: [linux-audio-dev] linear resampling is crap ? (was: fast linear resampling on ARM - suggestions?)

well... there are some soundcards which can only do one samplerate
(48k or 44k1 namely) so for this case its real resampling...

i have just found that there was a timeout value in the select()
in net_driver_wait() resulting in kernel busy waiting...
this changed the cpu usage in some unfavourable manner... i am off for
some other tests... and going back to SINC_FASTEST now...

also for the internet case i am getting quite bursty clocking an
currently dont have a way to get timestamps etc from the jack_driver to
the client. so while experimenting with this stuff, i am experiencing
resampling of 5% or so...

i am currently experimenting with the coefficients and function for the
delay locked loop controlling the resample factor...
