[Mixxx-devel] xwax update

2010-03-12 Thread Owen Williams
I did some more hacking on the features_xwax branch. Please let me know if this improves / ruins the behavior. the major change is in CONST mode, which works like this: * if you were in vinyl mode, and you switch to CONST, mixxx will keep playing the track at the previous rate (same as before).

The one crasher I've found is if you are in absolute mode, the needle is on the record, and you load a new track. I believe it's performing a seek before the audio data has been loaded. I'm not sure what the best way to fix that is. should the vinyl control code know when not to perform a

With the xwax development I'm doing, I'll need some hooks into the UI to complete the work. It would be nice if Someone Else could work on this part. Mixxx needs the following additions: * A UI indication that a particular deck is enabled for vinyl control * A UI switchable button that toggles

What's the current status of vinyl control under mixxx (either with 1.7 or 1.8). I'm having problems with both branches with any mode, even though the widget reports signal ok. I'm using a Serato v.2 control disc, and xwax-0.6 works perfectly. I can go into detail, but my initial debugging

I've been poking at Mixxx, trying to nail down why I get dropouts of audio when I load new tracks. I have a fast machine, and it should definitely be able to handle low latencies well. I've found that when a new soundsourcemp3 object is created, I almost always get dropouts while the constructor

Is there any way to improve the time it takes to load a new track? I'm getting a pretty hard disk hit when I load a track, and it causes JACK xruns and audio dropouts, even with a fast machine and Realtime mode enabled. Should I get a high-speed external drive and put my music on that? Or does
