Hi Grant, Andreas Claesson worked on a branch to support 32-bit long ago. I'm not sure what ever became of it or if it was ever good enough to be merged, but his work is still available here: https://svn.musicpd.org/mpd/branches/ancl The lack of hardware and audio sources is definitely a hinderance to supporting it. I certainly don't have any hardware capable of more than 16-bits nor do I have any music of that quality. I'm pretty certain that 99.9% of users are in the same boat as I am. But yes, I'd like to see mpd support higher quality audio. > Also it would be great to have the option for replaygain to operate on > the hardware mixer.

I hope to have 0.14.0 (with a rewritten core) stabilized and ready for release by October/November, if not sooner. mixer("hardware")-based replaygain would be huge win for machines with weak CPUs, especially on portable devices with FPU-less ARMs. So yes, I'm definitely in favor of doing this. </me shakes his cane at kids and their loudness wars> > Is anyone available to implement these features on a paid basis?

My schedule is unfortunately too busy to accomodate (unless I get paid enough to quit my day jobs and work on mpd full-time :) Perhaps somebody else is willing to step up to it. -- Eric Wong ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Musicpd-dev-team mailing list Musicpd-dev-team@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/musicpd-dev-team
