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

<< < (3/5) > >>

Llorean:
Seek starting/stopping would probably just result in overall sluggish performance. If you're trying to narrow down to a specific point, having the fade interfere with several small seeks would probably drive you insane, and it really doesn't make sense anyway. A more worthy goal there is "audible seeking" which would negate this anyway.

It should probably happen on resuming after headphone insertion though.

pondlife:
Having offered a configurable time, I've looked at the code and now think just a shorter fade would be fine ;-).

Actually, if I understand the code correctly, we currently wait silently for 0.1s before fading in, and handle both fade in and out as 30 steps with a 1 tick sleep on each step.  This should give a litle over 0.3s for a fade out and 0.4s for a fade in.

(I'm assuming 1 tick always one hundredth of a second; does it vary on different devices?)

Wow, I'm glad no-one else (!) likes the current fade length either. :)

Pondlife - A configurable time would've been awesome, but if you say it's too complicated/not worth the time, then a short fixed one is perfect. Around 0.3s should be great!

Fade on seek could be nice, but as Llorean says it could also be annoying with shorter seeks. It makes more sense in media players on computers, like in Winamp, where you can instantaneously jump (random access) to any part of the file by clicking.

But a really, really short fade on seek start/stop could be useful for removing/taming loud transients and clicks... what do you guys think?

lanfear:
I'm curious - would the change mean a lot of work, or is it quick?

I think you've misread what pondlife said - the way I read it, he's saying 0.3s is how long it is *now*.
