Message back from MickeyG and my reply to him . . . "Mike:
Sorry for the late reply. It's been somewhat busy around here. :-( I've not listened to the Inguz product myself, but it's easy to imagine that digitally equalizing for your room and system in software would work great. It hadn't dawned on me to do it within Squeezebox Server, but it would definitely work. I would agree that it's a cool thing to do for us audiophiles. The basic underpinnings could be handled by SoX or Sound eXchange (http://sox.sourceforge.net/Docs/Features), which is already built into Squeezebox Server 7.4.0. It's capable of equalizing the audio in the digital domain, I believe. However, we already have plenty on our plate for software development and can't spare the people to work on this. There might be some people in our developer community who might be interested in doing this. Although I'm not a SoX expert, I believe it's not a super daunting task, and is probably achievable with a bit of work. (It would involve tweaking the SoX config file, but I'm not sure.)It sounds like it should be right up the alley for some of them. It's a great idea, Mike. I can probably offer some expert guidance from some of the guys here if needed. Mickey" Me: No worries, thanks for the reply! Gotta love the open-source architecture, it's a major advantage for you guys (and us). The very best news is that a) Hugh has reappeared; b) he's revised the Inguz code to remove expiration date; and c) with a small bit of playing the existing code can work with 7.4. While I don't have any special need to have the EQ code written by the Logitech machine, a primary challenge has been and will be to keep the EQ current with the ever-evolving software. I'm sure Hugh would welcome the help, I know in the beginning he fancied charging for the software at some point but I believe he's been off that plan for some time. He might be amenable to having it be a team effort of some kind." Maybe I'm out of line, hopefully not. Please discuss. :) -- miklorsmith ------------------------------------------------------------------------ miklorsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4349 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68618 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
