#rockbox log for 2004-03-10

00:00:17quelsarukhehe.. if you do that and apears some kind of bug.. zagor may kill you ;)
00:00:57LinusNoh yes, it is purely out of fear for zagor :-)
00:01:11quelsaruk(i'm still looking for that nasty function)
00:01:42amiconnThe safety margin is quite large: the player RAM allows <= 100 µs RAS down, the recorders' <= 200 µs. The refresh cycle is every ~15 µs
00:03:15LinusNwell, how good is a dram controller if it stops refresing the dram just because the program is using the same page all the time :-)
00:04:20LinusNtime to reboot again, cu in a few
00:04:26LinusN(silly windows)
00:04:29 Part LinusN
00:04:42quelsaruklinus using windows :O
00:05:46*amiconn is also using windows
00:05:52quelsarukme too
00:06:18quelsarukbut... is like reading zagor saying something like "rebooting windows"
00:06:24quelsaruk:D

00:06:41amiconnHello again :)
00:07:13quelsarukre LinusN
00:09:07LinusNhola
00:09:12quelsarukhej
00:09:13quelsaruk:P
00:09:22amiconnLinusN: My ata timing calculations also show that ATA reading inserts 2 wait cycles (3 cycles in total) which conforms to the bus controller settings.
00:09:43LinusNok
00:09:55 Join midk [0] (mk@AC9FDAF7.ipt.aol.com)
00:10:27amiconnI suspect a timing problem (race condition) to cause the file system corruption, especially because you said that there are 2 threads.
00:10:34LinusNme too
00:10:45midkhey linux
00:10:48midkand amiconn
00:10:52midklinus* sorry!!
00:11:07amiconnHi midk
00:11:47quelsarukhi midk
00:11:53midkhi quel
00:12:05quelsarukwere you able to make better icons?
00:12:46amiconnLinusN: I do not yet fully understand the threading concept in rockbox.
00:13:02midkquel, i didn't see any
00:13:06midkaren't they just checkboxes?
00:13:53amiconnLinusN: Did you notice my smaller & faster descramble.S patch?
00:14:01LinusNyes i did
00:14:06LinusNthe threading is simple
00:14:19quelsarukyes midk, checkboxes :)
00:14:28midkyou mean new ones?
00:15:02quelsaruki haven't done new ones, just if you managed to make new ones ;)
00:15:40midksry no, now my ajb is gone byebye for a small bit too
00:15:45midkabout a week
00:16:14amiconnLinusN: If there are 2 threads (read and write) and optimizing one of them causes problems, shouldn't optimizing the other one cause the problems to go away??
00:16:32amiconn(Crazy idea)
00:17:27quelsarukdon't worry midk, now i'm working on the other part, splash menu® !!!
00:19:01LinusNamiconn: booooh! :-)
00:19:08amiconn???
00:19:58LinusNif there is a race, we must of course synchronize it
00:20:22amiconnAgreed.

00:21:50midk:)
00:22:09*quelsaruk hides
00:22:10LinusNamiconn: the threading is cooperative
00:22:28quelsarukLinusN, could i ask you something?
00:22:37LinusNthe yield() function schedules the next thread, round-robin
00:22:41LinusNquelsaruk: sure
00:24:17quelsarukis it possible that you build a simulator and see how does the splash menu look like? just a first impresion :P the hard critic can wait until tomorrow or even more ;)
00:25:43LinusNi'll see what i can do, right now i am busy with Paid Work(tm)
00:25:48amiconnLinusN: I did only find one thread named ata? What other thread does access the hd?
00:26:10midkquel. i can try! :)
00:26:15LinusNthe ata thread is only responsible for the spinup/spindown
00:26:42LinusNall other disk activity takes place in the context of the calling thread
00:26:47quelsarukLinusN, dont' worry then, just send me a mail with your opinion, and so on. So i can continue working on that (anyway i won't do anything tomorrow)
00:26:56LinusNgreat
00:27:05midkquel can i work on it?
00:27:41quelsarukmidk, what do you mean? in the icons? the splash menu? or the implementation of both things?
00:27:57quelsaruk(too late in the night and my brain doesn't work)
00:28:19midkboth
00:29:28quelsaruki would like to finish at least the body.. then of course anyone can improve it ;)
00:32:04amiconnLinusN: One thing that is somewhat mysterious for me: at he end of ata_read_sectors and ata_write_sectors the ata_flush() function is called..
00:32:06***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
00:32:21LinusNthat's where i'm looking right now
00:32:37LinusNthe recursive call to ata_write_sectors() is a nice one :-)
00:33:05LinusNor did you want to know the reason for it?
00:34:00amiconn..if there is a delayed sector. But in ata_delayed_write it _not_ checked if a delayed sector already exists? Do I miss something here?
00:34:04quelsarukhave to go

00:37:08amiconnLinusN: Why is there a "sector" argument to ata_delayed_write then?
00:39:09midkcan we change the topic
00:39:11midkOMFG i just
00:39:15midki was gonna say that
00:39:17midkthen i saw it
00:39:38LinusNamiconn: well, we had an idea about using several sectors, but we never implemented it
00:39:47LinusN(and it is sector 61 btw)
00:41:17amiconnOk. I realize that this is only called from settings.c
00:41:37LinusNyup
00:42:45trackmkhd
00:43:27midkmkhd?
00:43:34amiconnHow could two threads use ata_read_sectors and ata_write_sectors simultaneously, as they are protected with a mutex?
00:44:05tracksorry was talking to myself
00:44:16midkuh
00:44:19midksuuuure
00:44:54trackhope one day the mas can be reprogrammed
00:46:13midkit can't

00:50:25tracko
00:50:28trackk
00:50:32LinusNtoo little memory
00:50:40LinusNbut wav should be easy
00:50:40midklinus: wav?
00:50:43midkyay
00:50:45midksound effects?
00:51:20LinusNwell, we don't know how to enhance the builtin mp3 decoder
00:51:38midkthe AV3XX uses the 3507 too
00:51:49midksorta nifty
00:51:57midki have an av320 now
00:51:57LinusNit can probably be done, but there is no docs on the mp3 decoder, just the DSP itself
00:52:02midksounds pretty much the same
00:52:13LinusNmidk: the 3507??????
00:52:18midkyeah
00:52:20LinusNhow lousy
00:52:23midkyeah
00:52:26midki was thinking that actually
00:52:29LinusNwhy not the 3587?
00:52:29midkbut it plays WAV
00:52:32midker was it
00:52:35midk3587
00:52:37midkthat must be it
00:52:54midkthe two look the same, i swear! :)

00:54:56midkwell they have "bass" "treble" "loudness
00:54:57midketc
00:55:04midkso it does sound the same to me
00:55:06midkhmm
00:55:13midkshould it sound "Better"?
00:55:45LinusNmuch richer sound
00:55:50amiconnLinusN: Concerning my "RAS down" patch: I averaged then speed increase of the various ata loops to be +10%, bitswap is +17%
00:55:58midkricher
00:56:02midkas in the ajb sounds worse?
00:56:07midkit sounds really good, but rockbox does too
00:56:08LinusNplus SuperBass/MDB and Loudness
00:56:13midkthey don't do superbass
00:56:20midkbut AVOS better! :)
00:56:40amiconnThe 3587 superbass adds quite noticeable distortions.
00:57:21LinusNamiconn: on which volume level?
00:58:09LinusNi can't hear any distortion
00:58:34amiconnLinusN: Even for normal volume (headphones, volume 65..70). It is especially noticeable in very quiet passages.
00:58:56midkamiconn: I can't either
00:59:00midksounds excellent to me
00:59:02LinusNah, like a whistling artifact?
00:59:06midkbut yes, it does make some funky sounds to me
00:59:16midkchanging volume makes it beep
00:59:23midksort of bad work on Micronas' part
01:00
01:02:15diddystar5arghh sourceforge = slow today
01:02:34amiconnLinusN: Yes something like that
01:04:01amiconnLinusN: It is not from my mp3s, since I encode with a quite high quality setting (lame −−preset standard, yields ~200 kbps). It goes away when I set bass boost to 0
01:04:41LinusNyes i can hear it too, but i wouldn't call it distortion
01:05:02LinusNmore like "noise" or "artifacts"
01:05:50amiconnLinusN: Nevertheless it is annoying, so I don't use bass boost anymore.
01:06:14LinusNgod, i can't stand this Windows anymore, time to boot into linux again, hang on

01:12:00LinusNxp is nice in a way
01:12:12LinusNand linux sux in some respects
01:12:38LinusNbut for software development, linux is always my first choice
01:12:42diddystar5i just wish it had more customisable, and it didnt lock you into using internet explorer for stuff so much
01:12:49diddystar5and i hate their media player
01:12:53midkwmp?
01:12:59diddystar5yes
01:13:01midkwhy?
01:13:02amiconnXP runs rock solid here (also on a laptop). Didn't have one single OS crash (within several months)
01:13:04midkwmp is the best
01:13:10LinusNamiconn: same here
01:13:21Hadakaurm
01:13:29diddystar5wou mean wmp = winamp or windows media player?
01:13:34midkwindows media player
01:13:39diddystar5windows media player sucks and its annoying
01:13:43midkhow so?
01:13:45HadakaI don't use IE and I don't use windows media player, but I do use XP
01:13:48Hadakaor rather, did
01:13:48midkyou failed to mention why
01:13:53Hadakanowadays using W2k3
01:14:00diddystar5i use mozilla and winamp :)
01:14:04LinusNseems i just started a flame war :-)
01:14:25HadakaLinusN: let it brew a bit, and it might be ;)
01:14:39*scott666 uses firefox and winamp 5 also
01:15:04midkdiddystar5: w, h, y,?
01:15:08diddystar5firefox is extremly lightweight compared to the full mozilla
01:15:41Hadakaluckily window 2003 has the enhanced security extension to IE which basically castrates it so it can't browse anything - so I can safely leave it there and use firefox
01:15:49diddystar5midk: it dosent play all the media types, its skins suck, and there are not many of them, you can customise it very much, it wants you to encode to WMA....
01:15:59diddystar5i could go on and on...
01:16:07midkplease do
01:16:10midkin privmsg
01:16:11amiconndiddystar5: I did test firefox also, no use for me (not localized, some sites that I have to use check browser language).
01:16:23HadakaMPC or media player classic is really nice for video playing though...
01:17:03Hadakaamiconn: you can customize the accept-languages option it sends to web servers - and that's the *only* think a site can check
01:17:37amiconnHadaka: I didn't find that option anywhere in the UI (latest version, 0.8)
01:18:34Hadakaamiconn: go to about:config, pick intl.accept_languages, type your languages there
01:19:32amiconnHadaka: Didn't know about about:config. Thanks for the hint. Now I Use Mozilla 1.6. My impression of firefox was that it isn't faster than Mozilla either (same engine)
01:20:05Hadakaamiconn: rendering is not significantly faster or slower, no
01:22:04 Quit track ("leafChat IRC client: http://www.leafdigital.com/Software/leafChat/")
01:22:12amiconnUnfortunately for some sites one has to use IE (Thanks to some silly so-called "web developers").
01:22:44Hadakayah, ran into one just recently :(
01:23:11Hadakayou can't subscribe to any of ubisoft's games without IE
01:23:18 Nick diddystar5 is now known as diddystar (lee@IC87.library.oregonstate.edu)
01:23:59amiconnIf I do web development, I test with as much browsers as I get hold of (approx. 15 atm).
01:24:02diddystarbr
01:24:04diddystarb
01:24:30HadakaIf I do web development, I read the standard and that's it
01:26:01amiconnHadaka: In an ideal world this would be sufficient, but my experience is that all browsers have their quirks, even the latest. Also, I want to do "graceful degradation" for older browsers.
01:27:06MTamiconn: im no professional web developer (i do LAMP work and get paid for it, but I dont live off it) - but how far back do you test?
01:27:38MTI test IE 5, 5.5, 5.5 sp1, 6 and moz and opera bleeding edge
01:29:53amiconnHadaka: I'm also not a professional, but I want that everybody can access my pages. I test: (On Windows) IE 6sp1, 5.5sp2, 5.01sp2, 4.01, Mozilla 1.6, Netscape 4.78, 3.03, Opera 7, 6, Espial Escape 5, HotJava 3.0 ..
01:30:20MTyou test hotjava?!
01:30:27amiconnHadaka: (On Linux): Konqueror, Mozilla; (On Amiga): AWeb 3.4, IBrowse 2.3
01:30:47Hadakaquite a dutiful set
01:31:38Hadakafor me it is enough that if the pages I create look bad on browsers that do not abide the standard, then perhaps that is yet one small incentive more to get a browser that does
01:32:15amiconnMT: Yes. Hotjava sometimes is very funny: It claims to support layers, but it doesn't for real -> caused me to do some more sanity checks in JavaScript. Also has massive probs with CSS.
01:33:30amiconnHadaka: for me it is also sufficient if the pages are readable in browsers that don't support modern standard, but I want to protect all users from JS errors.
01:33:59amiconns/readable/just readable/
01:35:34Hadakawho spoke anything about *modern* standards? HTML 4.0 is ancient, XHTML 1.x is backwards compatible
01:37:27amiconnHadaka: XHTML itself is backwards compatible, but only if you leave out the XML declaration: This is shown as cleartext in some old browsers!
01:39:01HadakaI believe HTML 4.0 and even earlier specified that any unrecognized tags (even if there were odd characters there) were to be stripped from output
01:40:23amiconnYes, but some old browsers don't recognize <?xml as a tag, since there is no letter after the <.
01:40:52MTthe xml prolog isnt compulsory
01:41:04Hadakabut again, if they can't be bothered to read a standard that has been existing since 1996, maybe it is time they switched browsers
01:41:06MTcelik recommends leaving it out, even for modern browsers
01:43:06 Quit mecraw__ ("Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com)")
01:43:11amiconnHadaka: For some systems, there is no choice. Further, I don't want to force my visitors to change their software.
01:44:25Hadakawell, again, quite a dutiful approach - but personally I think there has to be *some* limit to the amount of old broken software quirks to which to accomodate to
01:49:55amiconnHadaka: I set some very basic requirements for browsers my pages should work in: (1) frame support, (2) JavaScript support >= JS 1.1, (3) not too many/ too strange bugs
01:51:01Hadakaamiconn: two of the three browsers I use daily fail at (2) and the third has JavaScript disabled, and one fails at (1)
01:52:16amiconnHadaka: IE 3.0x fails in (2), Hotjava most of the time in (3), the dinosaur Mosaic already in (1). The others being?
01:52:51Hadakawell, I use lynx, w3m and firefox daily - and firefox has java and javascript disabled
01:52:57amiconnHadaka: Btw.: Java
01:53:17amiconnOoops, return key was too near!
01:55:13amiconnHadaka: Btw: JavaScript disabled is ok for me, I just don't support JS 1.0. Don't use Java at all. Most of my pages are worth nothing without graphics, so don't care about Lynx. What is w3m???
01:55:40Hadakadon't assume text-based browser means no graphics
01:56:09Hadakaw3m == www miru, a text-based browser that supports frames and tables and a bunch of other nifty stuff
01:57:09*diddystar is very bored listening about java and browsers
01:57:29midktry turning it to linux

02:10:24Hadakaand that is a rather nice res, I must add
02:10:42amiconndiddystar: Because the LCD has that res, using a lower res would lead to blurry display.
02:11:05amiconnHadaka: Agreed :)
02:11:55HadakaI am considering using that with a desktop as well - it's nicely between 1280x960 and 1600x1200
02:13:02amiconnHadaka: Then you have to find a desktop LCD that uses it. Didn't see one so far.

09:31:34[IDC]Dragon'morning!
09:32:07LinusNyo
09:32:49[IDC]DragonHi LinusN, I have a working FM now, how do I extend the frequency range?
09:33:15[IDC]DragonI tried the #defines, but got only "mirrors" of the FM range
09:33:20LinusNwell, change the #define's in radio.c
09:33:40LinusNyes, i think the pll has problems when extending the range
09:34:02[IDC]DragonMIN_FREQ/MAX_FREQ?
09:34:10[IDC]Dragonthat's what I did
09:34:47[IDC]Dragonthen I get the regular stations at some wild frequencies, too.
09:35:09[IDC]Dragonlooks like the normal FM range folds across the scale
09:35:31LinusNyeah
09:35:38[IDC]Dragon:(
09:35:41LinusNyou are of course free to investigate :-)
09:36:03[IDC]DragonI'm investingating the boot time right now
09:36:32[IDC]Dragonwrote a kind of "profiler" to remember time stamps during the init
09:36:33LinusNthe boot time?
09:36:45[IDC]Dragonand a debug screen to view the results
09:36:51LinusNspeaking of fm, we have an issue with flashed fm's
09:37:00[IDC]Dragonwhich?
09:37:15[IDC]DragonI have a flashed FM
09:37:34LinusNthe hardware presence check reads back a shifted value, suggesting a glitch in the serial comm
09:37:47LinusNyou haven't seen that?
09:37:54[IDC]Dragonno
09:37:59LinusNweirdo
09:38:04[IDC]Dragonhow do I see that?
09:39:20LinusNhttps://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=439118&aid=887511&group_id=44306
09:39:56*LinusN goes to fill his coffee cup
09:45:40 Nick LinusN is now known as LinusN|busy (~linus@labb.contactor.se)
09:48:53 Nick LinusN|busy is now known as LinusN (~linus@labb.contactor.se)
09:57:49[IDC]Dragonwhy should this FM problem relate to flashing?
10:00
10:05:30[IDC]Dragonwas it just one user?
10:05:44[IDC]Dragonshould we tolerate the shifted value?
10:07:25LinusNno, we should not tolerate it
10:07:33LinusNis it (so far) only one user
10:07:59LinusNand the flash theory is purely mine
10:08:04[IDC]Dragonah
10:08:25[IDC]Dragonhe could un-flash to test
10:08:30LinusNyes he could
10:09:04LinusNthe tricky thing about the fm is that the serial port uses the same pins as the lcd
10:09:15LinusNonly with an inverted CS
10:09:55[IDC]Dragonso one edge to much can disturb/shift it?
10:11:35LinusNyes
10:12:34[IDC]Dragonand you think that edge may come from my bootloader or so?
10:12:57LinusNi don't think the bootloader is to blame
10:13:18LinusNas soon as the CS is negated, the serial transaction ends
10:13:40LinusNso the serial transaction restarts after every lcd update
10:14:01[IDC]DragonI still don't understand why you suspect the flashing
10:14:29LinusNwell, maybe i have forgotten some initialization that the archos firmware does before loading ajbrec.ajz
10:14:45[IDC]DragonAh.
10:15:13LinusNand that's the only obvious thing that differs between his fmr and mine
10:15:36[IDC]DragonBut since it works for everybody but one, there is nothing generally wrong
10:15:39LinusN(and my fmr serial port is broken, so i don't dare to flash it myself)
10:15:55[IDC]Dragonchicken!
10:15:58LinusN:-)
10:16:19LinusNyeah i know i can resolder the flash, but it's so tedious, and i don't have a standalone programmer
10:16:23[IDC]DragonTo most users, the serial is out of reach anyway
10:18:04[IDC]DragonI think the procedure is proven enough, not to worry
10:18:11LinusNyeah, i know
10:20:27[IDC]Dragonfor the tuner detection: maybe the shifted value should be tolerated, view it as kind of sync phase before using the tuner.
10:20:44[IDC]DragonOr query it twice?
10:20:52LinusNsounds lame
10:20:59[IDC]Dragonyes
10:21:01LinusNi'd rather find out why it is shifted
10:21:15*LinusN has ordered a logic analyzer
10:21:19[IDC]Dragonbut if there is some "garbage" to be shifted out...
10:21:31[IDC]DragonAha, which?
10:23:49LinusNcheapo stuff, http://www.team-solutions.com/Products/External/Acute/TE-PkLA1000.htm
10:24:17[IDC]Dragondo you know this one: http://www.saelig.com/ANT16.htm
10:26:25[IDC]Dragonyou call that cheap?
10:26:59[IDC]DragonBut yours has got a nice buffer depth.
10:27:07LinusNyeah, i was looking at the ant16 for quite some time
10:27:34LinusNbut i didn't find a retail seller in sweden
10:28:16[IDC]Dragonand you don't like mail order?
10:32:21***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
10:34:19LinusNwell, it is my employer that buys it, and they prefer buying from swedish retailers, for tax and accounting purposes
10:35:05[IDC]DragonI see, I thought it's your hobby toy. That would have been an expensive one.
10:35:25LinusNi love expensive toys :-)
10:47:00dwihno\o/
10:49:47[IDC]DragonI found something about the boot time
10:50:26[IDC]Dragonin ata_init(), ata_hard_reset() is done twice
10:50:42[IDC]Dragononce for master, once for slave, I think.
10:51:07LinusNyeah, saw that, silly
10:51:11[IDC]Dragonbut _both_ calls take significant time, each.
10:52:08[IDC]Dragonthis is why flash start is not as fast any more as it used to be, I think.
10:52:56LinusNas it used to be? is the double ata reset a new thing?
10:53:30[IDC]Dragonnot exactly new, 2.1 was "slow", too
10:53:56[IDC]Dragononce I booted in 3 resp. 4 seconds
10:58:34LinusNwell, you added it july 9 2003
10:59:22dwihno[IDC]Dragon: If you disable the ata stuff for the slave, do you see a speed increase?
10:59:33LinusNquite unnecessary, since the reset line is independent of the device number
10:59:39LinusNor?
10:59:50[IDC]DragonI'm no expert
11:00
11:01:03LinusNhmmm, the reset line is shared, but ata_hard_reset() waits for !BSY, and then it has to select the device
11:02:18dwihnoI also encountered something really strange last night
11:02:36dwihnoI left the charger plugged in while I was asleep, and when I woke up, the unit was drained.
11:02:39dwihnoCompletely
11:02:55dwihnoI had to use the archos' firmware charging to fill it up again.
11:03:03Bagderyou need to plug it into the wall as well ;-)
11:03:14[IDC]Dragonsorry one more: resetting this non-present drive takes 2.5 seconds
11:03:28[IDC]Dragonwho is generating that wait?
11:04:32LinusNwell, since no device is driving the bus, you read garbage from the bus, and the BSY bit may very well be set
11:05:25LinusNdwihno: flashed?
11:06:20[IDC]Dragonbut what makes the busy disappear after 2.5 seconds?
11:07:16LinusNi don't know, capacitance?
11:07:17[IDC]Dragon(reproduceable)
11:07:35[IDC]DragonI strongly doubt that.
11:07:48LinusN2.5s on the correct device or on the wrong device?
11:08:06[IDC]Dragonon the wrong one (if 0 is master)
11:08:48[IDC]Dragon0 takes 1.6 sec, 1 takes 2.5 sec
11:09:19[IDC]Dragoncomment in ata.c says: "this is safe because non-present devices don't report busy"
11:09:37LinusNisn't that your comment?
11:10:07[IDC]Dragonyes, I borrowed that knowledge somewhere (maybe from Zagor?)
11:10:30LinusNnon-present devices don't answer at all
11:10:42LinusNso the status register is read out of the air
11:11:29[IDC]Dragona very reproduceable 2.5 sec air
11:11:37LinusNstrange
11:12:01[IDC]Dragonif that would be the case, we for sure would have users where this hangs
11:12:07dwihnoLinusN: Yes.
11:12:22LinusNdwihno: charging screen?
11:12:25dwihnoBagder: Ah. I KNEW there was something I missed
11:12:38dwihnoLinusN: I just woke up and the unit was completely drained. Wouldn't start at all.
11:12:59Bagderthat should teach you not to sleep that long!
11:13:16*Bagder is in his serious mood today
11:13:17LinusNyes, but was it on when you plugged it in, or did it enter the charging screen?
11:14:33dwihnoLinusN: can't remember. I was sleepy.
11:14:57LinusNthat's vital info, i'm afraid
11:23:34[IDC]DragonAs expected, the "Real Fast Startup" (tm) is back when the ata_hard_reset() of the absent disk is taken out!
11:24:39LinusNso, we need a good way of determining master/slave before ata_reset()...

11:29:32dwihnoAh
11:29:37*dwihno agrees 100% to that approach

13:25:28[IDC]DragonLinusN: I have a theory for ATA reset
13:26:11[IDC]DragonI think the device selection doesn't matter, so we just plainly did the reset twice.
13:26:11LinusNshoot
13:26:24LinusNyes we did
13:26:36[IDC]DragonI know
13:26:45LinusNthe device selection only matters for the RDY poll
13:27:33[IDC]DragonI tried both device selections before the reset, it didn't matter
13:29:07LinusNso the first ws always 1.6s, even when it was the slave?
13:29:16[IDC]Dragonyes.
13:29:36[IDC]DragonFor some reason the second reset is slower.
13:29:54LinusNwow
13:30:03[IDC]DragonMaybe because the first had already the power-up time.

13:42:22LinusN[IDC]Dragon: it seems like the devices are synchronized in the reset phase, and the device selection doesn't matter

15:34:18mattzzwhen exactly is the callback function from mp3_play_data called? when all data has been played or when all data has been transmitted to the MAS?

15:37:43[IDC]DragonMeaning, when the data has been transferred to the MAS.

15:43:28mattzzyeah, but I need a certain timing. now it works... ;-) was somehow related to -vbr settings in lame
15:44:27[IDC]Dragonhow much jitter does your metronome have? Is it noticable?
15:44:52mattzznope, not to my ears ;-)
15:45:37[IDC]DragonOK. I was thinking about a timer interrupt to get it _really_ precise.
15:45:56[IDC]DragonThe video plugin does that for the regular screen refresh.
15:46:14[IDC]DragonBut it's ugly, I mess with the hardware directly.
15:46:47mattzzso we have some candidates for plugin.h?
15:47:05[IDC]Dragontimer registration, yes.
15:47:26[IDC]DragonCould be useful for games as well, so they can do their own scheduling.

15:53:45[IDC]DragonNo, the LED is "owned" by the ATA driver.

21:40:16uski(fyi, it is normal that after kicking a ghost from the channel you can't get back to your nick)
21:40:50LinusNah
21:40:55uski(because the ghost is still connected to the server, and the nicknames are the same for all the server; the best thing to do is to register your nick so you can do /ns ghost <nick> <password>)
21:41:12uski(it will then kill the ghost "globally" and you can recover your nick immediatly :))
