Aaudio push & exclusive mode

[romain8991]

Hello,

I was just writing about some features I would like to see get implemented in Poweramp: the exclusive and push mode with the Aaudio output. Could you please do that?

@romain8991 exclusive mode is intended for the low latency 48khz 16bit audio. We don't want that for music player as we want deeper (and thus adding more latency) buffer for low battery consumption and selectable higher resolution formats/sample rates for the appropriate hi-res content.

Not sure what you mean by push mode and why we may want that.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I see, I didn't know and thought it would bring a higher sound quality, just like on PC. The same goes for the push mode (a more direct way of sending the sound to the audio device than event mode), because I realised it brings a better sound quality (more three dimensional, detailled and less colored sound) with Wasapi on PC, as opposed to the event mode, like some other people who tried it.
