Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the xmms-crossfade package. Back then, when
I hesitantly picked up its maintenance on request of the previous
maintainer after doing an NMU, it seemed like a good idea, but now I'd
prefer to give away my xmms-related packages.
The package is in moderately good shape, upstream is a nice fellow and
very responsive. Some knowledge of xmms and bmp (and possibly
audacious) will be quite helpful as two binary packages for the former
are already built right now and upstream also supports the latter.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it. See
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-rfa for detailed
instructions about how to adopt a package properly.
The package description is:
This is a proxy output plugin for the popular XMMS Player.
Features:
* Crossfading: Crossfade between two songs, i.e. fade out the end of the
current song while fading in the beginning of the next for a smooth
transition. Length and volume of the fadings can be adjusted separately
for fading in and out.
* Fadein/Fadeout: Smoothly fadein/fadeout at the beginning or end of
playback.
* Continuous output: Keeps the audio device opened when switching from one
song to the next. When used with the Gap-Killer, this allows for seamless
playback of whole albums without any audible interruption between the
tracks.
* Gap-Killer: Removes the short gaps of silence at the beginning and/or end
of mp3 files. These gaps are caused by some mp3-encoders.
* Automatic detection of live albums: Automatically detects live albums and
pre-mixed tracks which already are crossfaded. For those tracks,
crossfading can be disabled automatically.
* High quality: crossfade can take special care to avoid the clicks some
soundcards produce when suddenly being stopped. Also, it can improve
quality when seeking within a song.
* Secondary effect plugin: crossfade allows you to select a second effect
plugin. This is useful for example when using the volume normalizing
plugin together with the icecast plugin.
