Theme definition section Another important difference of XML is that every open tag requires a close tag (not optional like HTML).

Re: Windows NT sound interface code
Now, I am ready to start debugging dual-processor NT hangs that I've been experiencing. I figure I will start with the Windows PMO, but first I have some questions: Dual processor NT with a SB Live! card? If so, do you have another card that you might stick in there just to see if the SB Live! is causing problems? I've heard not so good things about SB Live on NT with multiple processors. 0) There appear to be two PMOs for Win32, one using the Microsoft waveXXX functions, the other using DirectSound. How do I tell which one is being used on my machine? Options-Plugins-Audio Output Be default we're using the soundcard output PMO. 1) What is the state of the DirectSound PMO? Is it actually used in the product (and if so, can it be used on NT 4?)? The DirectSound PMO should work fine -- the only drawback is that there is an extra memcpy in there which degrades performance. The way you write data to direct sound is not compatible with the current buffering scheme that we have (well, not cleanly anyways), which forces us to use an extra copy. :-( 2) According to Microsoft, the latest version of DirectX for NT 4 is version 3. Is this the case? Sounds about right. 3) Who is the main person for these two PMOs? Sylvain Rebaud wrote the DirectSound PMO and maintain that now. I've also rewritten the soundcard PMO a couple of times, and I'm still not quite happy with it. :-( --ruaok Freezerburn!

Re: Windows NT sound interface code
Well... :) The PMO model does not mesh well with DirectSound, nor are you happy with the soundcard PMO. Would generalizing the PMO model help at all? Yes, we plan to do that for 3.0... --ruaok Freezerburn!

Yes, this describes my setup to a T. I have also heard about others experiencing this problem, but I suspect that one of the following situations hold:- a) The hang is due to a bug in SoundBlaster's drivers and we can find a simple, 100% reproducible code example to submit to Creative Labs. b) The hang is due to a bug in SoundBlaster's drivers and we can find a workaround in our code that avoids the problem. c) The hang is due to a bug in the Freeamp code and it only shows up due to an idiosyncracy in SoundBlaster's drivers. I only see this hang with Freeamp. Quake3 runs like a champ, as do other apps like CoolEdit, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc. 3) Who is the main person for these two PMOs?

Re: DiskOut Output Plugin v0.0.1
I downloaded and massaged your code for a while. Its now checked in CVS. * How to I display a customize dialog from the preferences page when I select my plugin? You don't. We need to implement something like that. * When the plugin is outputting the data, the time counter on the main window does not count down. Where is the code that makes this happen at? Could I have messed something up that causes it not to count anymore? Yeah, but its all fixed now. It doesn't show the time for every second, but for every 10 seconds... Any comments/improvements are welcome. I think I have the time calculation messed up a bit because I used WinAmps disk outputter as a test, and none of my output files matched in time or file size, so I still have a bit of work to go, but at least I have a start I reckon.

RE: DiskOut Output Plugin v0.0.1
Ok, I'm in the process of porting it to Linux, so expect more changes. :-) Speaking of Linux, I hope to get my a Alpha Personal Workstation after I get moved into my new place, so my current AlphaStation will probably be a fulltime AlphaLinux, or maybe AlphaFreeBSD once I can learn the systems. I've managed to compile FreeAmp on AlphaLinux one time, but I didn't know where it put all my files, and even worse I didn't know how to enable the sound to actually test it with.

RE: WavOut Plugin
Can I suggest that we rename it when we move to the new plugin architecture for 3.0? At that point we'll also have an improved options system that will allow for the things that you're planning for. Is that reasonable? Quite reasonable because if I remember, the customize dialogs for output plugins was due for 3.0 anyhow, so that'll match up fine. mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/freeamp-dev
