Re: [Audacity-quality] Chirp Default Parameters

[Gale A. <ga...@au...>]

I'm about 0 on it. If we make changes I would rather go further and 
initialise generators to different lengths to reflect what they sound
like e.g. 2 seconds for a chirp (what bird puffs for 30 seconds?) and 
5 seconds for DTMF. Of course software testers may want Chirp 
to be longer than 2 seconds. 

I don't care that much about Martyn doing the new image for the 
Manual IF the Manual people are given enough time to bring the
Manual up-to-date before a freeze. Not sure that's true now unless 
there is a freeze on any changes affecting the Manual in the same way
we have a string freeze (or some other arrangement).  

BTW Martyn has been looking with Ed recently at Bug 137.
