[EDIT]: i now have a plug that does what i asked for! so there's no need to write one anymore...

you wanna write this? - cool!

DirectSound v2.0 already has this behaviour...
It is included at least in special installer and I'd guess in normal too...

well, it's not really what i am searching for:
i am looking for [stop without fade-out -> by default] and [stop with fade-out -> on special key].

You could also make up your mind and choose which one you realy prefer to use

(Sorry could resist * Hurring away ducked for cover *)

i made up my mind and came to the conclusion that direct sound output is still not what i am looking for...

And what exactly is it that you are trying to tell us with this?

i meant [direct sound output v2]-fading is not the answer to my request.
what i am looking for is playback that by default does not fade at all but additionally gives the ability to stop a track with fadeout like in winamp.

ps: thanx for the new icons!
