we used to use libresample which generated a lot of samples over the limit and that / 2 supressed the static it was causing.<br>We use the speex resampler now and it&#39;s much better, so i took the / 2 out in tree.<br><br>

&gt; Hi Anthony, all,<br>
&gt;    this is, in my opinion, actually going to give you far far uglier<br>
&gt; audio artefacts than simply hard limiting the samples. Rather than try<br>
&gt; and describe the resulting distortion, it&#39;s easier to just listen to<br>
&gt; it<br>
&gt; in action...<br>
