Description Cédric Bellegarde 2005-08-26 18:18:52 UTC

Version:           1.3 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Since hardware mixer option has been removed from amaroK, i find it really unusable. I always have to go in kmix to change my pcm volume, really annoying.

One more, software mixer is slow.

Has xine api have XINE_PARAM_AUDIO_VOLUME and  XINE_PARAM_AUDIO_AMP_LEVEL, hardware mixer can be available in xine plugin. Kaffeine works like this.

Thanx!

Hardware mixer for xine engine

I just write a patch for amaroK that enable hardware mixer in xine engine
configuration.
Any comment is welcome.

Hi :)

Could any of the devs take a look at this? I know that you're not fond for the idea of a hardware mixer but really many users would like it, including me...

Look here:

Of course it could be optional, compilation or runtime.

Most of players / multimedia programs use the PCM device, why amaroK can't?

Pleeeeease...

Regards,
Maciek
