As also mentioned previously, aside from the sound manager - which
will continue to be a 16bit/stereo based sound service on X through
Carbon, CoreAudio will also provide an AudioConverter (and also
some revisions to the DefaultOutputUnit) that will allow an
application to continue to do its work in an integer format and use
optimised conversion paths to the AudioDevice.
AudioConverter sounds nice, but the thing that worries me is since
it is yet another layer on top of the hardware it means increased
latency. Would you still consider it the best solution for
streaming audio apps?
This does not introduce latency.
The AudioConverter will deal with PCM formats only (at least
initially) - I'm not sure what you're asking though...
