sam Friday night update

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
I just did another update of sam.
Playback and Capture volume controls are now handled correctly.
Also much more error checking.
Coming and going USB cards should be handled better now.

Regarding the controls:
For now, I focused on getting everything working again as I had to rewrite quite a bit of the code. I am learning about Alsa and its API as I go along, and understood some things incorrectly at first.
There are still a lot of mysteries in my mind at the moment.

I will think about the suggestions made regarding the controls and see if I can get it closer to what people want.

Some of the suggestions would be quite difficult/time consuming to implement, given the way the current code is written.

My short-term goal will remain to get the program robust first.
Please download and update again.
The only file which has to be copied is sam itself.
One can even just run it from the extracted directory with dot slash sam.
FWIW, Willem

I agree with Greg and Larry about this control.

I think the goal needs to be immediate results as one arrows up or down,
so that the adjustment becomes one of comfort with what one hears as
opposed to some numeric value.

So, my suggestion is to simply present the current value in a control
where up and down raise and lower the volume, or sonic parameter.
Perhaps  m could serve as a toggle for mute..

This has the makings of a very nice tool. Way to go, Willem!

You say: but arrowing up-and-down doesn't change the percentage. It
should'nt, you must press enter to change the value.

This seems counter intuitive to me. In every mixer application I've
ever used, using the arrow keys or whatever other controls always had
the desired change without having to press something for the change to
take effect. I don't know how others here feel about this, but I
suggest you reconsider the need to press enter for the change to take
effect.
