Dear all
As far as I can tell, the Linux version of Banshee does not resample
the music data before playback (i.e. sound playback is done using the
exact data in the sound files, no changes in the sample rate or bit
depth). At least, the sound data is sent to GStreamer without
resampling or changing the bit depth. The Mac OS X version of Banshee,
however, seems to play the music using the sample rate and bit depth
set using the 'Audio MIDI Setup' program (which is a utility program
that comes with Mac OS X). In other words, the sound data is resampled
before playback (this behaviour is the same in iTunes). I (and MANY
others) do not like this resampling at all, because the resampling
affects the sound quality. Also, I think it's unfortunate and
undesired that the Linux and Mac OS X versions of Banshee don't work
in the same way.
Therefore my question: is there a way to control the resampling
behaviour in Banshee? An alternative to iTunes that would allow music
playback without resampling would be gorgeous!
Cheers
Matthias
