So you may be happy with this :-) But honestly I wouldn't expect major performance improvements as all the hard work was never done in pure Python. All the plugins used in PulseEffects were written in C or C++ by their authors. My main reasons for the port to C++ were: 1) In C++ I can use the native Pulseaudio and GStreamer api while being able to use high level languages features. The Pulseaudio wrapper in PulseEffects 3.x and before was written by myself and it did not have a great quality. GStreamer wrapper for Python is good but did not have bindings for everything I wanted to use. Things like gsettings_binding_with_mappings for example... 2) At least for me it is easier to debug multithreading bugs and segmentation faults in C++ than in Python On Mon, Jun 4, 2018 at 4:27 PM, wellington wallace < wellingtonwallace at gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 4, 2018 at 11:50 AM, Jan Claeys <lists at janc.be> wrote: > >> On Mon, 2018-06-04 at 03:03 -0400, Joe wrote: >> > If I set the equalizer and do almost anything with media besides just >> > listening, the equalizer becomes disengaged - sometimes just by >> > amarok starting to play the next track.
