Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:08:33 -0500 I've been doing a fair amount of work in playback and pcmbuf in the last couple of weeks and that led inevitably to crossfade. *sigh* It's cleaned up some now and the decision tree where the determination is made whether or not to crossfade is much improved. This leads to the question of what we want crossfade to do exactly. Going from a forum suggestion and at my own initiative I added a new enable option: Auto Track Skip Only, which only crossfades at the end of a track, but manually skips immediately without crossfade. Man Track Skip Only and Always (and Off) are straightforward enough, but what about Shuffle and Shuffle and Man Track Skip (ex: Shuffle and Track Skip)? What behavior should these exhibit? Currently Shuffle behaves like Always If Shuffle, meaning that if the Shuffle feature is on, it always crossfades. The Shuffle and Man Track Skip only crossfades when both Shuffle is on *and* the track is manually skipped. Auto track skips are gapless. Maybe Shuffle ought to crossfade only for auto skips, but man skips are immediate? And what exactly is Shuffle and Man Track Skip for? Is it needed or wanted? Ironically, I don't use crossfade so I don't know what the desired behavior might be. There are a lot of possible options that haven't been addressed yet, so feel free to dream. Putting in new options and tweaking behavior in the decision tree is trivial.
