[Linuxsampler-devel] evo code

[Christian S. <chr...@ep...>]

I read the evo-0.0.6 code to become acquainted with the basics involved in 
this project and audio applications in general (as I've never written an 
audio app before). I appreciate that the code isn't that complex, so you can 
easily get an overview of the most relevant parts.

It left me with some minor questions however, that I hope somebody can 
explain to me (I guess that's most likely Benno but if anybody else can tell 
me too... :)

Is there a reason that int types were always used for actually bool types or 
is it just some kind of habit?

Is there any benefit of using this double_to_int() function [audiovoice.cpp] 
and the asm code in it, instead of a normal type cast?

I was a bit surprised about the ring buffer. I expected a buffer similar to 
the ones which are used in ASIO or Gigasampler. These consume less CPU time 
but on the other hand of course, latency values are dependent on the buffer 
size. How about giving the user the choice which kind of buffer to use?

And finally I was a little bit unsure about the purpose of the check_wrap() 
method in the RingBuffer template. It ensures a sequential reading of 
2*WRAP_ELEMTS = 2048 elements, right???
If so, shouldn't there a be a check if there are enough elements available 
for reading?
