Hi,
The attached patch adds the following functionality:
1. A per-app mixer setting stored in an ini file. e.g.
[Programs]
mpg123 = 20.4:20.4
Next time mpg123 volume will be automatically set to 20.4 on both
channels.
2. Private malloc, calloc, strdup functions converted to glib's g_malloc
etc.
3. To faciliate #1, a simple ini parser and a preferences window was
added. Default ini location is ${HOME}/.ossxmix
4. Also, the following options were added:
Save_last_vol -> When enabled, save the volume of an existing program
for use next time.
Background_poll -> When enabled, poll also when ossxmix is minimized
(pretty much required for Save_last_vol, unless someone wants to keep ossxmix
on top in a separate desktop).
Set_to_max_after_end -> When enabled, the engine volume will be set
to maximum after a program has ended.
Mixer -> Set mixer location. Default "/dev/mixer".
All except the last are exposed in GUI, and default to disabled.
5. Some small other changes (#ifdefs for MIXT_MUTE, don't make mixers with
priority -2 ever default).
Notes:
A. Didn't test with Clive's patch. No interference should happen.
B. Value set in ini can exceed vmix's maximum. I didn't check for it,
assuming that trying to set a value above maximum will set maximum.
C. When option window is open, and Save_last_vol is enabled, and a program
volume is stored, the option window will not update. Furthermore, pressing OK
will overwrite that volume.
D. Delves a bit into GTK's CList widget's private data. A bit for
performance (I'm not sure how many programs a typical user may want to store),
and a bit because of GTK1 bugs.
E. There's some code to disable configuration options if vmix is not
enabled. This will require a bit of remodeling if "dynamic" vmix is used.
F. Ini comments begin with "#", but ossxmix erases them every time the ini
file is saved. This happen every time the options window is closed, and every
time ossxmix exits.
Yours,
Yair K.
