Greetings,<BR>
<BR>
so here it is: for the first time on Amiga ...<BR>
..... uhmm I beg your pardon for that - seems that these days are gone long ago and it was so hot week that my brain cocked up a bit ;)<BR>
<BR>
Anyway yes - for the first time Amarok 2.0 have an equalizer ! Actually on my desk right now but I hope it will spread soon :).<BR>
7 hard working days to bring it on so I hope U will enjoy despite if it's not perfect.<BR>
<BR>
How to use it:<BR>
- patch should apply cleanly to the current svn version. So build as usual and install.<BR>
- this patch require a latest phonon svn (with added by me equalizer functionality) - so grab it compile and install anywhere you want. Without it equalizer will stay disabled.<BR>
- if decided to install phonon to custom directory execute Amarok with: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=path_to_phonon_install_dir/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH;amarok<BR>
- it will only work with xine backend (until somebody will add an equalizer support for other backends like gstreamer etc.)<BR>
<BR>
Current issues:<BR>
- equalizer presets where imported from previous Amarok series with small adjustments to prevent clipping noise<BR>
- because equalizer code in phonon is quite different from that in xine lib in 1.4 series we need to find a good default presets that doesn't cause a clipping - any volunteers ?<BR>
(Actually the code is adopted from audacious player - the reason why in Audacious clipping doesn't occur with pretty much same setting for same<BR>
audio clip is under my investigation. Whatever it can be resolved I'm not sure about it - there are so many differences between xine and audacious starting<BR>
from different decoder code to internal data handling format - int vs float).<BR>
<BR>
Basically that's all for start.<BR>
<BR>
Any comments and feedback welcome.<BR>
<BR>
Best regards<BR>
