Volume setting is not currently supported when PulseAudio is in use.
Disobedience now has a menu to select the network playback API.
+disorder-playrtp
now selects playback API using
+ a --api
option. The old API-selection options remain
+ available but are deprecated and will be removed in the future.
RTP playback can now transmit to multiple unicast destinations, added
+ and removed on demand. This is controlled by the new rtp_mode
+ option. The motivating use case is a bridged network with high- and
+ low-capacity components. However it is may also be useful in a routed
+ network without multicast routing support.
disorder-playrtp
If it's detected at configure time, a new decoder + program disorder-gstdecode is built. It uses the GStreamer + library for audio decoding and sample-rate conversion, among other + features. + +
The decoder has a number of options for controlling the sample-rate and + audio format conversion, allowing various tradeoffs between quality and + processor time. (High-quality conversion can consume more processor time + than decoding, so this is potentially useful on very a small device such as + a Raspberry Pi.
+ +The GStreamer decoder can also use ReplayGain information stored in + audio files' metadata to adjust playback volume, so that tracks with very + wide dynamic range don't sound really quiet in comparison. This + information can be added using tools such as mp3gain, + vorbisgain, or metaflac. This is turned on by default if + you use the decoder; you can choose between per-album or per-track + settings, or turn it off entirely, using command-line options.
+ +The GStreamer decoder is not used by default, but it can be enabled + easily enough by dropping something like the following into the server + configuration file: +
+ player + player *.flac execraw /usr/sbin/disorder-gstdecode -ralbum -f-8.0 + player *.mp2 execraw /usr/sbin/disorder-gstdecode -ralbum -f-8.0 + player *.mp3 execraw /usr/sbin/disorder-gstdecode -ralbum -f-8.0 + player *.ogg execraw /usr/sbin/disorder-gstdecode -ralbum -f-8.0 + player *.wav execraw /usr/sbin/disorder-gstdecode -ralbum -f-8.0 ++ + +
Playback APIs are now selected using a --api
option.
