IndivisionECS will have dual video output!

16-bit audio software was written decades ago.  It is just waiting for a 16-bit Paula.

So you'll write drivers for this new 16-bit Paula?

While the real Paula can only join two 8-bit channels to be one 14-bit channel, we could give it a true 16-bit channel.

Interesting idea. I think this could be achieved without any need for additional software support.

You need some simple logic to detect a condition where channels from single side have the same sampling frequency (rate) and volume set to either 64 and 1 or 1 and 64. See here for details: http://aminet.net/package/mus/misc/Pro14bitbet

When the condition is met you can then take the two different 8-bit components and produce a true 16-bit data out of it.

This way it would work with manual tricks such as descibed in the Pro14bitbet and with the 14-bit noteplayers available for various player apps (such as http://aminet.net/package/mus/play/Deli14BitGenie). As a bonus you'd get 16-bit paula AHI for free (paula.audio supports the 14-bit mode).

The difference between what Jens does and what NatAmi people are trying to do is common sense.

Common sense?

Yes the common sense found in many projects such as MiniMig and IndivisionECS, and horribly lacking in anything related to NatAmi.
