hmm, just so that we understand each other correctly, with max error >+-1
i meant that there is a error larger then +-1 in one 16bit output sample
now from what you say above its not 100% clear if thats the case or not
but an error of 3.0519e-07 RMS seems negligible to me, i assume that
dissapears if you change the tables to double? not that i think that would
be a good idea ...

except the precission question iam fine with the patch
