Hey, I have hacked up an equalizer plugin for Banshee. As you will see nothing is hardcoded :). A screenshot: http://i-nz.net/files/gallery/software/banshee-equalizer.png I have attached: 1) PlayerEngine.patch - Implements the EQ/Amplifier functionallity. Take a look at the patch it's self explanatory I think. Commiting this won't break anything existing, because implementation of the virtual members related to the equalizer/amplifier is optional. 2) helix-dbus-engine.patch + HelixEngine.patch - Adds the equalizer functionallity to helix-dbus-engine and then in the HelixEngine itself. I haven't had the chance to compile and test this due to the lack of access to the helix CVS server (still). 3) banshee-equalizer.tar.gz - The Equalizer Plugin itself consists of an Equalizer widget. The sliders auto-position in the middle when moved. The Plugin takes care of saving, checking and loading the equalizer preset at startup/exit. 4) banshee-engine-xine.tar.gz - My LibXine backend for Banshee, which fully supports equalizer and amplifier. I attach this just in case you don't wonna bother compiling helix-dbus-engine for a quick tryout of the Equalizer plugin.To install and activate: ./autogen.sh; make; make install gconftool –set /apps/Banshee/PlayerEngine –type=string xine-engine A quick overview of the media engines and their equalizer/amplifier support: * Helix - Only equalizer supported. I couldn't find anything in the hxclientkit source in relation to the amplifier. * LibXine - Everything works. * GStreamer - I had a quick look, but it seems that neither equalizer nor amplifier is supported in GStreamer 0.10. The plugin won't load if equalizer isn't supported by the current media engine. What do you think? Any comments, suggestion, reviews? Cheers, -- Ivan N.
