Urgh. Don't know. There's a thread buried somewhere here which contains the algorithm. I know it's different from iPeng's which in turn also is not purely proportional.
I believe it's a good idea not to have a purely proportional response because you have to cope with offsets as well as different scales. * offsets: if two players are intentionally set to different (real) volume levels you want to keep the difference and a small proportional change would have a big effect on the loud player but only a small one on the silent player * scales: Radio and Boom don't have a linear volume response, if you change volume on them the same way as on, say, a Transporter ypu get strange results. And then there is the issue that strictly going proportional give you very bad results at very low volumes effectively leveling the volumes when you go towards low volumes and back up a few times due to rounding. Can't speak for SyncOptions but iPeng uses a value that is based on the relative as well as the absolute change. I believe that generally the result is pretty good almost nobody complained so far and it's enabled by default in iPeng so I'm sure someone would if it was completely off. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93028 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
