Unless I was in a hurry for some strange reason, I would actually choose to do a fading module in Pulseaudio if I had to solve this cross-fading problem. That's because doing cross-fading is a recurring feature in music players, and with large buffers rewinding is necessary for responsive cross-fading track changes. If music players can get away without implementing rewinding in their own code, that means that a lot of work is saved (I believe implementing rewinding is generally quite tricky). -- Tanu
