[pulseaudio-discuss] Switching resamplers

[Arun Raghavan]

Hey folks,
We've seen discussions a number of times on IRC about this, and now that
1.0's out the door, this might be a good time to consider this.

The current default resampler is speex-float-3, which is on lower-end on
highly loaded systems can be problematic (cause an underrun flood,
f.ex.). The current choice among distributions seems to be between
speex-float-0 (~2.5-3x faster) and speex-float-1 (~2-2.5x faster). On
embedded systems people might plug in something lighter still (like the
ffmpeg resampler).

Qualitatively speaking, I can't really perceive the difference between
speex-float-1 and speex-float-3. Might be a good idea to perform some
blind trials, though.

So any objections to moving to speex-float-1 as the default?
