Is it possible to adjust length of stop/pause fade?

(1/5) > >>

lanfear:
Is it possible? If yes, what setting? If not, is it much work to add that as an option?

The default fade length is too long for my taste, it makes the player feel unresponsive. Winamp's default fade length of 333 ms is a perfect tradeoff in my opinion. :)

lanfear:
I just thought of this again - sorry to bump, but I'm really curious. :) Is the length of that fade somehow adjustable?

It would make the listening experience a lot "snappier" if I could shorten it...

Strife89:
More than likely you'll have to edit the source code. I, unfortunately, have yet to learn C (the language Rockbox is mostly written in), but I might be able to dig up something given enough time.

Hope someone who really knows what they're doing comes along. ;)

safetydan:
The fade length is currently not configurable. If you really want more responsive stopping, wouldn't you be better off just disabling fade on stop/pause?

Though if someone is motivated to make it configurable, the volume fading code is in gwps-common.c

Big thanks for your replies guys!

Ah, of course, that's what I've been doing and that's ok.

But a fade gives a smoother touch to the experience (the reason it got implemented, I'd think), like the background lighting fades on and off instead of just blinking on and off. :)

To my taste, the Rockbox default is too long, while the Winamp default is short and snappy at 333 ms - still filling its purpose perfectly.

I appreciate the fill-in! :) I have extremely basic coding skills, but some day...
