Would it be too much to ask Spring to just accept 44kHz PCM WAV files without having serious problems? Formatting stuff down to 11kHz without running into serious quality issues is a major drag, and the theoretical capability of Spring to accept quality higher than that is being undercut by the reality, which is that I keep having to re-format sounds in order to keep some of the better effects nice and rich whenever somebody messes with the sound code
Yeah yeah, sounds eat memory and stuff. But they don't each much, and I've never seen any serious lag associated with sound. What the current sound code is doing is barbaric- it's obviously dithering things down to 11kHz, 8-bit mono before sending to the soundcard, which is doing horrible things to my more complex samples
