Fade on stop/pause - via Line-out

<< < (4/5) > >>

brenthaag:
I have the same problem/request.  I would like to point out that when you skip tracks (and the fade-in/fade-out is turned on), it will fade out the playing song and fade in the new song on the line out--at least it seems to on my iPod color.

You may want to check if you have crossfade on (set to either "Track Skip Only" or "Shuffle and Track Skip"), since that's what crossfade is supposed to do...

I'm pretty sure that's exactly the point he was making.  In other words, there are no problems with fading the audio out for a crossfade, but it won't fade out when pausing.  Isn't that a rather simple principle?

I agree with this issue - I just got my 5.5g 80gig ipod and noticed this problem pretty much immediately.  Also I was wondering whether the fade-to-pause is really supposed to take what seems like 2 seconds, since on my iRiver 140 it was always nearly instantaneous.  But I digress:  why can't the fade-on-pause be handled in the same way as the fade out for crossfade (which, once again, works)?  I'm not familiar with the terminology, but it seems some others here were calling this "dsp". 

Also, it seems like it would be nice to be able to set the fade length in milliseconds, or something; i want a fade on pause to avoid a harsh cut-off, but I don't need a 2-second fadeout.

JdGordon:
fade on pause/stop is currently hard coded and implementing using the output volume. crossfade is implemented using the DSP (digital signal proccessing... software which mangles the output).
If someone were to redo fade to use the DSP then it would work on the lineout and be the same as crossfade. noone has stepped up to do that.

saratoga:
Using DSP for L/R balance would also be nice so that balance can be adjusted over line out.
