Just discovered this wonderful piece of software. My first question, though, is:
Why lock it to 48KHz?
Nowadays, everyone is defeating latency with x2/x4 sample rates. If an audio interface has nominal latency of 10ms, for example, then, by doubling the sample rate, one can get 5ms. Or even 2.5ms in quad-speed mode. And, the sound quality is better as well.
Yes, I do understand that, in that case, CPU usage is higher and internet bandwidth needed is higher, but in today's world, I don't think that would be a problem.
200kbps for up and down stream? I would gladly give 400kbps or 800kbps to have lower latency and/or better sound.
In my opinion, Jamulus should allow users to choose from all possible sample rates, and then, it is up to users to balance their quality/latency however they see fit.
Thanks.
Cheers!
