Paul Davis,
Before sounding off like you did, I suggest you *do your homework*.
Negative. You have used an inappropriate public forum to cast serious
doubts on the usefulness of someone's work. Based on communications here
by the author of that work, it appears you have not raised these issues
with the author prior to posting here. Your experimental procedure
leaves much to be desired, because of the subtlety of the whole area.
That said, what you've raised might indeed be correct, but there is
hardly anyone who posts here regularly with the expertise to comment.
If your comments are really about sinc-resampling, why on earth would
you not take them to music-dsp or comp.dsp, which are true platform-
neutral forums for such things? And if they are about possible
implementation issues in SRC, why have you not discussed your tests with
erik first?
I am not trying to dismiss the point you are trying to make - I
certainly do not know enough to even begin to comment. But I do think
that the way you have made it is really, really poor.
David, I'd like to add something about emotion here. ;) I'm a user, this is a
users list. I spend all day using the software that Paul (and friends) wrote,
which uses Erik's code a lot AFAIU. I don't understand diddlysquat that
you're talking about and I need to get my album finished.
If the people you are talking to are asking you to take this off-list, please
do. :] I don't like to read too much of the kind of arguments that developers
have, I find it off-putting. It's also really handy to have people like Paul,
Erik and Lee around to answer some of our 'harder' questions. Please don't
make me take sides.
