Version: 2.4.3 (using KDE 4.6.5) OS: Linux Just a tweak but it would be awesome if Pausing Amarok sounds like a record is slowing down to a halt. It likely would require a brief sample of the current song to be exponentially slowed down over a period of 1/2 second or so, and unpausing could then go from a stopped playback to slowely ramp up over 1/2 second or so to play back at full speed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I pause and the pause is abrupt. Actual Results: I pause and the pause is abrupt. Expected Results: I pause and the music slows down to a stop; unpause speeds to normal playback speed. OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.0-2-686-pae Compiler: gcc Just a small cool little thing that would make Amarok so much more cool, but it certainly isn't essential to the development or operation.
Something like this sound (below) is what I am thinking, although specific to the current track was my request. However, we may be able just use this sound and blend it a bit with the current track, and save some development work. http://www.freesound.org/people/zerolagtime/sounds/49241/ Reverse this ^^ sound for when the track is unpaused.
Hi Jeffrey, I'm really sorry to be the discouraging guy, but it is really unlikely that Amarok will ever implement such feature (so unlikely that I'm on the edge of closing this as WONTFIX). I haven't checked Phonon for this, but I'm 99% sure that it doesn't implement playback speed changes, which is another setback.
Yeah I figured this would be in Amarok's buffer, not in the Phonon backend, but I understand it's not really a useful feature, just a fun one. Close it up if you want, thanks.
Doubtful with the current phonon-backend-gstreamer, and even less with the new one using gstreamer 1.x. libvlc doesn't have anything similar
> Doubtful with the current phonon-backend-gstreamer Again, I wasn't expecting this in the backend, but within Amarok which handles the audio files themselves. Still, no worry.
