Re: [LAU] Pro Audio? OT rant.

To be rather uncharitable.... The same reason the image resampler ([s] actually, there's like six complete different implementations used for different cases) in Gimp is a joke; lots and lots of people who need a resampler, learn just enough to make one that mostly works, call 'done!' and get back to the parts of the project they'd rather be doing 'of varying quality' is often a codeword for 'different bugs we don't fully understand and can't be bothered to track down'. Or worse, "hey, but it's *really fast!* or 'it always worked fine for me, don't mess with it'. (Or worse worse: a grad student learning by doing, overtraining results for some very narrow use. I'm looking at you again, Gimp) (Or even worse worse worse: "But _this_ implementation doesn't take my personal superstitions into account!") There are some tradeoffs to be made in implementation, but few are that relevant unless you're dealing with very constrained hardware, eg, 25MHz ARM with 16kB or working memory. Cheers, Monty
