Summary: requantizing to narrower types *MUST* dither
Description:
alsa-lib 1.0.9/1.0.10rc1 do not currently dither the signal when
requantizing 16-bit hardware input to narrower types, say, 8-bit. It is a
well-known fact in digital signal processing that any requantization
requires dithering to avoid the nasty and hefty twitching noises
particularly with data which is barely above the minimum level of the new,
narrower type. dithering decorellates the quantization noise so it sounds
less obtrusive and linearizes the quantization process.
Books: the art of digital audio (John Watkinson); principles of digital
audio (Ken C. Pohlmann)
