Will there ever be any alternative to libao? The main drawback is that the audio format is not transferred from the file format (e.g. 24bit 96kHz) to the audio device. You have to go into "Sound MIDI settings" to control this. It would be better if the file format would go unchanged to the audio device. Is it possible to enable this behavior in libao?
If another audio sink is kept current upstream for OS X compatibilty and will provide a better user experience I would be all for it. At the time of my decision to leave the faulty osx sink behind libao seemed like the best choice - it has relatively few dependencies - but I am open to suggestions. In other news the sun is setting on my time with MacPorts; I'll be switching back to Linux soon and would like to leave my ports in good shape upon the date of their abandonment. Would you be interested in taking over, Bengt? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46325#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
