FEAT. RQ.: bypass channel to foobar audio_chunk interface, getting proper DoP in Foobar2K Options

[Jackal29a]

Would it be possible to add an option in advanced preferences that would add a bypass channel to foobar audio_chunk interface skipping DSP chain and Volume control?

The idea is that this channel should directly deliver unchanged sound data to output device (like WASAPI or ASIO) without going into DSP and Volume Control chain. This way it will be possible to add true DoP mode without needing to resort to ASIO or WASAPI Proxies.

I've no idea about the innards of Foobar so if this is against any TOS or policy I'm sorry and please any admin move it to the bin or delete it. Ditto if it belongs in another sub forum.

Cheers

Not sure what you mean "foobar audio_chunk interface", doesn't sound like it's what I refer to by "audio_chunk".

If passing unaltered PCM stream to the device is what you want, you can already do that by setting volume to max, disabling ReplayGain and DSP. What else do you want, a single checkbox to toggle all of volume/RG/DSP with one click? Sounds like it will generate "volume control doesn't work" and "equalizer doesn't work" tech support traffic.
