[REQ] Foobar2000 plugin

[forart]

It would be really great to have a FB2K version for many people that uses it (me too).

I've already opened a discussion @ Hydrogenaudio:

Hope that inspires !

hi. sorry for the delay.
i'm not sure that i understand why you would want to have a Foobar plugin to do oversampling.
Oversampling is something you do in certain audio effects (compressors and distortion for example) to lessen aliasing artifacts. It works by resampling the audio to an higher frequency, apply the effect, and then resampling back to the original frequency. Tipically the higher frequency is either 2, 4 , 8, 16, or 32 times the original frequency.
If what you are after is just resampling from say 44.100 Hz to 48.000 Hz, then this is not the library to use. For that, I would use r8brain directly.
Anyway, I don't think that you would need anything like that in programs like Foobar2000, as they probably already have good resampling algorithms.
ps: In my humble optinion, the best thing you can do is to set the sampling frequency of your audio interface to match the sampling frequency of the file you want to reproduce. Higher sampling frequency do not have more fidelity just because they are higher. Actually, they often have worse fidelity because the hardware introduces more noise.

We usually down (/4) or upsample (x2) everything to 88200 or 96000.

Anyway yes, FB2K already have (S)SRC, PPHS, and SoX resamplers plugins, btw r8brain would be great.

Thanks anyway for your hints.
