Open Sound System

Yes, I know what it does... Just disable the damn thing and use whatever resampler/channel mixer you want. Petrov's plugin has "exclusive mode" which opens device exclusively (omits virtual mixer) and disables cooked mode. I decided to give more freedom to user, that's why these are separa...

Nope. It disables/enables cooked mode: http://manuals.opensound.com/developer/ ... DMODE.html

Well, go ahead and test it yourself. Audacious has filewriter output plugin. You can use various tools to compare input and output files (Be aware, that headers may differ), like Foobar's bit compare utility. What's said above - Audacious has bit perfect playback for some file formats. Believe what ...

No, you can't. 16bit → Audacious → 16bit, 24bit → Audacious → 24bit and 32bit float → Audacious → 32bit float conversions are bit perfect. It was tested.

Format conversion is as "lossless" as resampling. Format conversion 16bit → 32bit float is, in a sense, similar to upsampling. As you might have noticed, the quality of upsampling depends on the quality of resampler. That is why Petrov's resampler sounds better than other resamplers. The ...

That is not true. Conversions 16bit -> 32bit float and 24bit -> 32bit float are lossless. So if you're not doing any processing (like resampling) you'll get exactly same bits on the output. I was working on Audacious' format converter a while ago: https://github.com/audacious-media-player/audacious/...

execute.method: I have no idea, sorry. Talk to your distribution.

Try to remove current modules.

There were a bunch of fixes for ST/STX including switching the output: http://opensound.hg.sourceforge.net/hgw ... 0ff65ca911
execute.method: You need at least v4.2-2006.

It's to make skype-oss ebuild to accept installed oss-devel (not only oss as it is currently) and to make it create correct desktop file, it's currently set executable to skype-oss which isn't correct.

Applied, thanks.

I'm going to fix that today.

edit:
I've fixed the oss-devel-9999 ebuild.

I've updated the repository address in the oss-devel-9999. Hannu moved it to sourceforge.net.

Hello, I've added new OSS4 output plugin for Audacious ( http://hg.atheme.org/audacious-plugins/audacious-plugins/rev/fe343b378176 ) What's new? Gapless playback is now supported. Plugin should be more responsive too. Software buffer isn't implemented (yet?). Anyway internal OSS buffer is used, for ...

What do you mean by "Production quality"? Is there any configure option you would like to enable?

@Ollboll I'm glad it works for you. Have you tried other applications to see if static noise disappears? Please try osstest. I'll post some new patches ASAP.
