Crap: Crap, I’ve spend all day on AVI A/V sync issues that I didn’t get to commit the Totem patches. Anyway… * Most AVI A/V sync issues fixed (some crude hacks in the AVI demuxer such as non-lineair chunk processing … Continue reading →

Reality: * AVI A/V sync is close to impossible. * I need MXF specifications. * Playbin (and Totem based on playbin) rocks. Will commit to Totem CVS monday. More news then. We’ll try some Fedora Core 3 rampage, if that … Continue reading →

New house: So I moved. Large new house, fancy new kitchen and bathroom, separate sleeping room, two televisions (one in the sleeping room) and two luxeous couches and … no internet yet. Argh! Insanity: Havoc, yes, that is ALSA fault. … Continue reading →

GNOME Volume Applet: People have once tried to teach me to not be negative about others. Well guess what. They failed! Of all code that I’ve seen in my life, the current GNOME Mixer Applet has to be by far … Continue reading →

GNOME Volume Control (again!): And as I promised, I’d work on something that looks like Eugenia’s UI proposal: my implementation of something she proposed. People seem to think the previous one is more intuitive. Took me 90 minutes, which included … Continue reading →

GNOME Volume Control (yes!): This should mostly work: * screenshot 1. * screenshot 2. Maybe I need to fix some terminology (ALSA? PCM?) and – like I said yesterday – hide some/most tracks by default. But otherwise, it seems finished … Continue reading →
