[Audacity-devel] Mac: "Do not modify audio device settings (such as sample rate)"

[<ga...@au...>]

Hi 

A checkbox "Do not modify audio device settings (such as sample rate)"
used to be provided in Audio I/O preferences on Mac so that Audacity did
not get too adventurous with quality and bit rate settings that other
apps. on Mac could not cope with. For anyone unfamiliar with this, see:
http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mac_Bugs#Loss_of_sound_after_running_Audacity

But a user on Mac is reporting on the Forum that neither 1.3.5 or 1.3.3
have this box, and I can't see it in the source code, despite it being
mentioned as a known issue in README.txt. Was some conscious decision 
taken to remove this, if so on what grounds, as it is AFIK a permanent 
issue on Mac:
http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5064

I did search -devel list but found nothing except the decision to
introduce the box in 1.2.5/6. 


Thanks
