* speakup and audio with alsa also bitlbee and irssi @ Littlefield, Tyler ` covici 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Littlefield, Tyler @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Hello all: I had a few questions: first, I was using mplayer, and the only solution I've seen was one Chris Brannon pointed out, which was to use softvol. I've also seen it mentioned in numerous places on Google. Problem is, softvol is a software volume control, and when you change the volume of say track 1, it puts track2 right back up at the max volume. Are there other players/ways to make mplayer only change alsa so that it'll keep it's volume through the entire song? Also, I want to use Bitlbee for my messengers. Has anyone written a script that just uses events to play sounds? contact signs on, new query opened, new message received etc? I know you can trigger on events, but I'm not sure how to trigger on specific events from within a specific connection, like bitlbee for example.

* Re: speakup and audio with alsa also bitlbee and irssi ` covici @ ` Igor Gueths ` Rob Hudson 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Igor Gueths @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. I have MPlayer configured to play audio through Softvol, and I too experience this. If I play file1.ogg and decide to lower its volume, this change will take effect only while file1.ogg is playing. As soon as file2.ogg begins playing, volume is back up to whatever the current amixer-configured setting is. The only way I know of to mitigate this is to use Pulseaudio to keep program-specific volume changes persistent, during the lifetime of the process. However, this does introduce its own set of problems, such as lots of audio latency/artifacts/interrupt issues last I used it.
