     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


The output when converting a 16-bit audio stream to an 8-bit audio stream is
very noisy, probably because no dither was added to the original signal before
conversion.  Please add 8 bits of random noise to the original audio stream
before converting to an 8-bit audio stream.  This will help reduce the noise,
at least in the quiet parts of the audio stream.
