[volnorm-users] Updates to volnorm in CVS

[Baruch E. <bar...@wr...>]

I've now updated the CVS of volnorm to include fixes to the sound quality.
Versions 0.3 to 0.3.4 were developed on a computer without a soundcard so
the quality of the resulting sound wasn't tested by myself. And altough I
received some good response on the sound quality I found it very lacking.

I've now changed the scale on which the silence level is tested, the value
is still 0.01 but now it's on the same scale as the target level (which
defaults to 0.25). Also the change that I did before such that the gain
was not changed until a second or so into the song, this change is
canceled since it has bad effects on the sound, it causes songs that are
not too quiet in the beginning to have a sudden jump in volume which is
unsettling.

I'm still experimenting with the maximum gain (maximum multiplier), it
currently defaults to 10 but I think that 5 is a better value. Please
experiment with it and let me know what you think. Changing it is
currently not implemented in the GUI, you need to change it in the config
file (~/.xmms/config)
