Agree completely. Some more claims.

I would prefer not to use that word, "claim", since it bears a lot of negative connotations, especially around these quarters - but here goes anyway:

Many of the optimization and linker settings in C++ compiler, that's used to compile code for media player, or relevant to the sound (for instance, output) plugin, drastically affect sound. I'm speaking from experience of using Intel C++ compiler to build Winamp ASIO plugin (Otachan). Not to mention huge difference utilization of SSE instructions makes, even if they're not used explicitly in the code, but compiler is directed to use them if possible.

The most interesting detail - practically ALL kinds of code optimization (there are many available in Intel compiler) ADVERSELY affect sound - to my ears, in my system, of course.
