<html><head></head><body>Hi,<br><br>Patch 4 is triplicating in one aout what belongs in OS HAL and VLC encoders. Are you going to write an MPEG Audio encoder in WASAPI just because some devices only accept that, also?<br><br>Patch 5 is doing the opposite of what people want to use exclusive mode for: implicitly add VLC conversion filters instead of disabling them.<br><br>I don't think either of them is a step in the right direction.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Le 28 octobre 2019 10:25:02 GMT+02:00, Thomas Guillem <thomas@gllm.fr> a écrit :<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

There are also<br>probably some different use cases for exclusive mode when<br>using VLC in a different use case than the home multimedia<br>player.<br></blockquote>I don't see how the patchset is useful. I've seen requests for PCM pass-<br>through, which sort-of makes sense with a digital output, but that's not at <br>all what this patchset does.<br><br>PCM pass-through means that you set exclusive mode and force the DAC format to <br>match the sample rate, channel map of the decoded input, and pick the wire <br>sample format, practically signed 16-bits. This patch does almost the exact <br>opposite: negotiate the rate, map and bit depth.<br></blockquote><br>My patch is good step toward this direction.<br>It will first try the input format, but fallback to other possible compatible format. We can use a 3 value options: disabled, FORCED, ON if format compatible.<br>The main problem is that VLC can insert audio-filter like time stretch that could alterate the audio/format.<br><br>> <br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;">-- <br>Реми Дёни-Курмон<br><a href="http://www.remlab.net/">http://www.remlab.net/</a><hr>vlc-devel mailing list<br>To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options:<br><a href="https://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-devel">https://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-devel</a><br></blockquote><hr>vlc-devel mailing list<br>To unsubscribe or modify your subscription options:<br><a href="https://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-devel">https://mailman.videolan.org/listinfo/vlc-devel</a></pre></blockquote></div><br>-- <br>Envoyé de mon appareil Android avec Courriel K-9 Mail.
