Subject: why no floats in kernel?
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 06:22:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-sound-103768733630620@msgid-missing> (raw)

I was wondering why floats cannot be used in the kernel, I did read it
some where, but I also notice befs and some other driver does use
floats.

anyways, the problem is, I need to know how to turn this math into ints,
yes I know I can bit shift but it doesn't help initially till I get
around the floating point result.

( sound rate / sample rate ) * (note freq / sample freq)


Thanks in advance
Chris Ison
