[Discuss-gnuradio] virtual sound card driver

2006-03-08 Thread Matteo Campanella
As there is alot of software that takes the soundcard as default source for doing digital processing, do you think it would be possible to build a virtual sound card device driver to be used as sink from gnuradio and as signal source from one of these softwares? I mean, a virtual sound card driver

I'm trying to re-sample signals, ranging from 0.5Hz up to about 40Hz, sampling them at some small integer multiple of their frequency. Simple decimation isn't getting close enough, in many circumstances, leaving a significant phase erorr. I'm thinking that I can get closer using the rationa

I digged into the usrp c code, and I have found the following code, that basically says we could use 32 bits for tuning on the fpga, but we truncate it to 14 - unless there's a good reason for that, we could be much more precise in tuning the NCO... again, unless Matt has a good reason for that.
