MPAR - Resampling (4 Viewers)

[notfast]

• From Wiki
• Resampling
• Use to change the audio sampling rate conversion quality. For more information: http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/api_misc.html#Converters
  • SRC_SINC_BEST_QUALITY
  • SRC_SINC_MEDIUM_QUALITY
  • SRC_SINC_FASTEST
  • SRC_ZERO_ORDER_HOLD
  • SRC_LINEAR (default)

Why is SRC_Linear set as default? Why is it not set to SRC_SINC_BEST_QUALITY to give us the best quality?
I can google that it takes some more cpu power to use best quality, but not how much it takes.
Right now I'm using best quality, and I can not see an impact on my cpu (Intel G1610).

So why is best quality not default?

As many low end CPUs wont have enough power to resample on higher quality. Also in many cases you wont actually need the resampling since most of the audio HW is able to output the common sample rates.
