I'm sorry to hear that liquidsoap wasn't stable enough for you. You're right that I am more interested in bringing innovation than delivering professional-stable software. Although this is a correct judgment, it's not a fair one. I never pretended that stability is my top priority. I don't make any business off that, nobody pays me for a promise of stability. Despite this, I'm putting a lot of time on building that software, lots of which goes to fixing boring bugs, helping users and writing doc. Note that the stability of ALSA is 100% independent of the "fancy" part of liquidsoap. If somebody has enough interest in this (because they like it or because they can make money from it), I'd welcome a contribution. > I wonder how many users will use that feature. I wonder how many people use liquidsoap at all, actually :) But seriously, let me insist that this new feature is useful even to "normal" radios. We've had cases of people complaining about how liquidsoap converts mono to stereo, and some company wanted to have dolby-to-stereo conversion in liquidsoap. This wasn't doable in a modular way before, now it's just a matter of writing a simple operator. > If you want to have it used in professional environments, concentrate at > stability, good testing, integration with high-level interfaces to > interoperate with rest of the system, and dynamic configuration reloading. > [...] > Needless to say that I cannot do fadeout after switching from input.http. I have called for discussions on interoperability several times, but haven't seen any good proposal. In the meantime, people keep using the server as it is, and it works. I have also commented many times on the common request for dynamic reloading. Finally, we have also explained the very good reasons why you cannot crossfade on an input.http (with liquidsoap or any other tool). Note that fadeout is no problem, I assume you meant crossfade. But there's not much point arguing about this. You're disappointed about our priorities. Too bad. We're both sorry about that. Best wishes to you and your radio, I hope you find a solution that works well and easily. -- David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Savonet-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/savonet-users
