MinimServer Digital Attenuation

[simoncn]

MinimServer uses FFmpeg to do attenuation and transcoding, so this depends on the internals of FFmpeg and also on what hardware platform you are using to run MinimServer and FFmpeg.

MinimServer tells FFmpeg to decode the input audio to floating point samples so that attenuation and/or transcoding is done using floating-point arithmetic but I don't know whether this is done with 64-bit or 32-bit precision.

To the best of my knowledge the order of processing should be this:

input stream -> floating point -> attenuation -> transcoding -> output stream
