JACK has to be able to dither - its receiving float data and outputting

Yeah, my initial feeling is that JAMin should offer to dither, so you can
control it centrally before JACK gets it hands on it, and be sure the
recording will be an accurate reflection of what you hear.
I agree. I've never thought the dither option in Jack made sense to me.
Jack should be a patch bay, not a processor. Too many options for mistakes. You *might* consider having 2 outputs from Jamin -
dithered and
undithered - so that possibly you could A/B the two. Please time align
the two if you ever do add an option like this.
I was imagining you would be able to switch the dither on the fly in the
UI.
