right, looking at it again, I think I get it now. You'd need: the 8-bit sRGB source, to the premultiplied image as floating point (Pixman can't do to 16-bit channels it seems,) then to the resized image as floating point, then unpremultiply that, and then go back to 8-bit sRGB. It makes sense in my head, I just don't know if it's really worth all that tradeoff, it's a lot of extra steps... I don't even know that the original resize algorithm would've even done it either given its age, and my goal is to replicate that. But maybe I'll test and see how it goes eventually

Followup: I've now implemented this and I determined it doesn't take enough longer to have a noticeable impact. It so happens mango has an sRGB to linear function that is much faster than using Pixman to do the conversion so that's what I used. I kept it 32-bit all the way through which will introduce some colour banding but it's not really noticable with the photorealistic images being resized. So I expect this will be ready for whenever I release my next version
