Of course. So what? waveOut resamples, kernel streaming doesn't. Same driver model, two different interfaces. Tack on DirectSound and the windows media player interfaces on top of that. Kernel streaming is the least damaging of all of them, and what I'm assuming most people using foobar2000 are using (that or ASIO.) So how is another process degrading the sound by (attempting) to open the audio device?
> Measure it whilst the CPU is relatively idle, vs heavily utilized. Do you see a difference? Have any bits been lost in either case?
Those tests are low on my list of priorities, but I'll run them when I get a chance. I've yet to hear the effects of jitter, however.

Well now, that wasn't what you said in your previous post.
Of course upsampling mangles the original data, and up/down sampling is even worse. However, many on this board will contend that it sounds better when done properly. I could care less, 44.1KHz sounds fine to me.

It is when poorly implemented, same as any other "enterprisey" language.
> Actually, no - don't confuse your background with mine. :-)
Actually I'm more accustomed to low level '64 programming. The SID was a thing of beauty...
