SUMMARY
It would be great to disable the default pause fade out behaviour. It is a great option but not as a default IMO. Most people would expect a music player to instantly pause. Pause is important to e.g. avoid embarrassing moments with blasting loud music by mistake. To have the music pause instantly is good feedback that the program reacts and it is not broken.

The option can be left disabled by default (and enabled for stopping? I'm not really worried about that).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the player for the first time and play a song
2. Pause the song

OBSERVED RESULT
Player doesn't react and you think the player is broken. After two seconds the player pauses.

EXPECTED RESULT
Player instantly pauses.

Comment 1 Tuomas Nurmi 2024-08-18 07:37:02 UTC

I hadn't noticed / had forgotten it is on by default (when available). As default options should indeed generally be the 'less destructive' ones; I think it is justified to change this.

Default to no fadeout on pause and stop

Not stopping sound instantly at user interaction can probably be considered as
'destructive' behaviour and shouldn't maybe be on by default.
