Love the new DirectSound output and the built in fade...

Just one thing, it fades out when I pause, but can it fade back in when I unpause?

If my ears don't deceive me it does this already.

It fades out when I press pause, but when I press pause again to continue the music just cuts back in with no fade. Unless I'm missing something...

I've got the plugin that installs with v0.7.1.

I just double-checked with the fade length set to 2 seconds - danbee is right, there's no (long) fade on resuming playback.

I dunno whether it's even easily possible to add fading on "unpause" - I suspect that the output plugin can't really tell whether it's just being unpaused.

Not that I fell a need to have the music fade in, but whatever tickles your fancy.. *shrug*

i checked it again too, and you were right (sorry)

if you set the fade-duration below 1000ms, it seems to work.

but on longer fades, it doesn't fade at all.

i may be wrong, but to me it seems that between 1000-1300 it DOES fade in on unpause.... but faster than it does fade-out. strange.

EDIT: maybe it depends on the buffer-length? just a wild guess.

I suppose it's a 'nice to have' feature, but it does aleviate the 'jarring' when you unpause something that's quite loud. And if it's fading out on pause, it kinda makes sense to fade in again when you unpause/resume.

Ehem, it *is* fading in. Please either disable hardware mixing or get soundcard drivers that work.

Seems a bit misleading, because i have hardware mixing disabled, i set buffer to 5000 ms, same for fade, and it doesnt fade-in on unpause.

I wouldn't be surprised if my audigy drivers are broken but disabling hardware mixing dont fix it.

In fact it doesnt fade in on my laptop neither, or at least not by what i set it at in prefs.

But yet i just got it to fade in, it works it i play with 1000ms buffer / 200ms fade, (exit prefs), pause, change to 5000ms each then unpause. Oh well, i dont care anymore.

Same goes for me - but heh, not that Creative Labs drivers being fuct would really surprise me. *roll*

Hmm.. It works as long as the fade time is under 1000ms...

Must be gay Creative drivers I guess.

If only we got the fade on KS....

Just to update...

It does exactly the same on my work machine. SB PCI 128 (ES1371 based iirc) with standard XP drivers. As long as the fade length is below 1000ms it seems to work fine. Anything above that and it doesn't fade back in on resume.

(2000ms and a m-audio revolution)

Edit: damnit I was wrong..buffer was set to 2000ms not the fade time..must be a bug..1000ms fade is okay..better then no fade

Apparently fadein problem has nothing to do with soundcard drivers, people reported that fade wasn't present at all while actually it was just too short so I assumed system-specific issues. Bleh. Fixed for 0.7.2.
