Hello,<BR>
<BR>
a small update regarding issue with audio distortion and sound differences between audacious original<BR>
equalizer and my implementation for phonon xine backend:<BR>
<BR>
- the bug has been fixed in phonon trunk svn (as of revision r999575).<BR>
- the sound is now 99.999% same like in audacious with the same equalizer settings (compared byte by byte output for same wave input file)<BR>
(the remaining 0.001 is that decoding engine is different then xine and that at present phonon kequalizer doesn't support dithering - whatever I'll add it<BR>
or now it's not clear now).<BR>
<BR>
Hope that somebody with a good hearing (not me certainly :))) will find time to tune the presets to match current equalizer characteristic.<BR>
<BR>
So happy testing ;)<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>
