[vlc-devel] [PATCH 0/2] [RFC] cut down audio resamplers

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

	Hello,

VLC currently have four audio resampling filters:
 - trivial: padding with zeros or cropping,
 - ugly: insertion/removal of extra samples,
 - linear: linear interpolation,
 - bandlimited: band-limited interpolation.

bandlimited is by far best and slowest, and requires floating point. If
--no-hq-resamplig is used, then VLC discards it, and falls back to the one
with the second highest priority. In 1.0, that would be linear for floating
point, and ugly for fixed point. In 1.1, that's linear in both cases.

Hence, I really don't see the point of all 3 of the /poor/ resamplers.
