Description Aaron Williams 2015-07-29 07:53:21 UTC
Right now the equalizer just says band0, band1, etc. which is not all that useful. It would be far more useful to specify a frequency range. I am guessing that this might be difficult based on the sampling rate of the source material since I have source material from 44100 Hz up to 176400 Hz.  It seems unlikely that people would be much interested in changing frequencies above 20 KHz though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the equalizer
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See band0, band1, band2, etc.

Expected Results:  
Should see frequency bands for equalizer

AFAIK this is a limitation of the gstreamer library we use for the equalizer, so probably not much we can do about.

I have explained exactly what the problem is, and how to fix it.

The bug was originally caused by a change in gstreamer. Gstreamer is not going to change back. This needs to be fixed, as i have explained, via two small patches - one to phonon and one to amarok.

Closing as the equalizer frequency range bug happens only with phonon-gstreamer backend, which was declared unmaintained in 2022 by upstream. (The frequencies are shown correctly with phonon-vlc.)
