Description Roland Kaeser 2011-01-14 07:41:07 UTC 
Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.5.85) 
OS:                Linux

I simply whould like to have a balance control for the master channel because the speakers are not always optimal positioned.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37-rc5-12-desktop
Compiler: gcc

KMix author speaking: Please note that I personally have no real use for this feature, and likely won't do it myself.
But if somebody would like to implement it please contact me. I have thought about that for quite some while and things are rather difficult, like saving and loading volumes, representation in the GUI (also when muted), rounding issues and so forth. It is very important that every control that can be balanced has its own balance control.

Summarizing and internal implementation hints:
  - Balance can only be done per-control
  - VolumeChannel's must be saved separately, and balance MUST NOT be saved
  - Balance must be recalculated after loading volumes
  - There may be 2 balancers per Control: Left-Right and Front-Back
  - There is a bug report about balance being "destroyed" when one Channel reaches the 0% or 100% boundary and you continue to change the overall Control volume.
  - From bug 222059 => A (global) keyboard should be added (at least for the master control)
