Use of SoapySDR Converter subsystem #105

Open vankxr opened 8 months ago

vankxr commented 8 months ago

Hello,

I have been looking through the code and noticed this file: https://github.com/pothosware/SoapyRemote/blob/master/client/ClientStreamData.cpp

The code here suggests that this library is not using the SoapySDR converter subsystem to perform format conversions, is this correct?

I am planning on using SoapyRemote and taking advantage of a smaller format on the wire, but do not want to have high format conversion overhead. I already successfully installed SoapyVOLKConveters and it seems to be working. My understanding is that, on the server, it is the device support module that is responsible for correctly calling the Converters API in order to (hopefully) use a SIMD accelerated converter. However, on the client, is it SoapyRemote's responsibility to call the Converters API, which it currently seems not to be doing.

Has anyone dealt with this before?

Thanks, Joao
