#6012: Setting of "Real TIme Video" not remembered --------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: fano | Owner: yourpalal Type: bug | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Preferences/Media | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | Blocking: --------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by fano): I not agree to remove RealTime AudioVideo, now they are not implemented but they make sense: for example suppose Haiku used as a hybrid MediaCenter OS, I play a file and contemporary there is Web+ with 360 tab opened in background... I don't want audio or video to skip because Web+ wants to refresh a page that I not see... so the AV is in "realtime" and I'm safe. Regarding "refuse" format changes, I suppose a format change (the setting means: audio frame-rate, right?) can do "some click" on audio receiver or worst it goes out of sync and not play nothing... but it receiver support it for true audiophile can be more interesting the beauvoir when it is not checked so file is 44.1 Khz? It changes to 44.1 Khz... it is 96 Khz? It does 96 Khz... avoiding resampling (I think can work really only together con "Exclusive Mode", see later). For suggestion in new functionality: - Some way to test if audio is really playing, a button in which click and play some sound - Dolby Digital/DTS audio out passthrought on SPDIF port(s) - Dolby or DTS Live that is a compression on realtime in AC3 or DTS (useful if playing for example an AAC multichannel audio file via SPDIF so the receiver can decode it in AC3), as ffdshow do, user can choose for all audio or only multichannel if not directly supported (that is not recompress an AC3 file in AC3...) - Some more advanced resampling algorithm than skip/repeat - Exclusive mode: an application can say to Media Server for now play '''ONLY''' my sound: no system click, no browser music and so on! This really important, in my opinion, in a future Mediacenter scenario... I'm seeing a movie I'm not interested on when it is doing the OS in background :-) No Audio Mixing for short... together with "change the framerate as audio that is playing" I think we can have a very high audio quality in this way... A high audio player can like to use this, too (see Foobar2000 for example). - Audio out using HDMI port (for start in SPDIF compatibility mode) -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6012#comment:19> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
