Usage: `--format {F32|S16}`. Default is F32.
- Implemented for all backends, except for JACK audio which itself
only supports 32-bit output at this time. Setting JACK audio to S16
will panic and instruct the user to set output to F32.
- The F32 default works fine for Rodio on macOS, but not on Raspian 10
with Alsa as host. Therefore users on Linux systems are warned to set
output to S16 in case of garbled sound with Rodio. This seems an issue
with cpal incorrectly detecting the output stream format.
- While at it, DRY up lots of code in the backends and by that virtue,
also enable OggData passthrough on the subprocess backend.
- I tested Rodio, ALSA, pipe and subprocess quite a bit, and call on
others to join in and test the other backends.
- Store and output samples as 32-bit floats instead of 16-bit integers.
This provides 24-25 bits of transparency, allowing for 42-48 dB of
headroom to do volume control and normalisation without throwing
away bits or dropping dynamic range below 96 dB CD quality.
- Perform volume control and normalisation in 64-bit arithmetic.
- Add a dynamic limiter with configurable threshold, attack time,
release or decay time, and steepness for the sigmoid transfer
function. This mimics the native Spotify limiter, offering greater
dynamic range than the old limiter, that just reduced overall gain
to prevent clipping.
- Make the configurable threshold also apply to the old limiter, which
is still available.
