This solves #3 of my problem, meaning I can now set my device volume to -10 dB, and my stream to +10dB, and get no clipping artifacts. However, it leaves #4 of my issue, which is that out-of-range floats are clipped by PulseAudio (or if not pulseaudio, then the pulseaudio client). It does seem like the signal format is to be described as explicitly being in [-1,1] even for floats in the documentation here: <a href="https://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/sample_8h.html#a41051ceaa5cfbe60c9b176deb7bfed0e">https://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/doxygen/sample_8h.html#a41051ceaa5cfbe60c9b176deb7bfed0e</a> Could that restriction be conceivably dropped? I would love to be able to send out-of-range floats and have PulseAudio mix them without clipping.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
