This is the change that @Brumi-2021 and I worked on to improve capture quality for lower bandwidth captures.
The gist of the problem is that HackRF recommends a sample rate of 2M for best results. The capture app used the bandwidth setting to compute the sampling rate, but when the bandwidth was low, the resulting sample rate was also much lower than the recommendation. For example, 20kHz bandwidth * and oversampling rate of 8 gave a sampling rate of 160kHz.
This change increases the oversampling rate from 8 to 16 for lower bandwidth captures (<25kHz) which should improve SNR and capture quality. This change could be extended to add support for higher oversampling rates in the future.
This change has been fully rebased on 'next'.
