- Beeps does not seems to work anymore
True - forgot about that one but it doesn't bug me that much.

- Pitchbend is delayed by about 3 seconds
That'll will be because you are using crossfade. The crossfade stuff buffers things up to mix between two tracks. Same thing happens if you turn stereo separation on and off. Not a bug IMO

Whew. Now I'm doubly glad I removed emphatic's dependency on /proc/empeg_notify. Of course I'm now much more dependent on the content of the savearea and the format of hda3, but those seem to be changing far less often.

Also has the duplicate waypoint patch which isn't currently in a gpsapp release.
Derrick, when I run this version of GPSapp, it locks up when it's loading a route. If I drop back to gpsapp 0.17 from the web site, it works (although the fonts don't show up under alpha6).

Folks need to watch out posting source code. The first use of i as an array index erases the index and throws the BBS into italics. Each subsequent one is probably deleted and ignored.

Having said all that, my Mark 2 doesn't currently spin down at all, with ReserveCache=0 and only about 5,000 songs on it -- though that might be a separate bug.
And thus it was. Looks like v3 alphas 2 to 6 never spun the disks down (the icon disappeared, but the actual spindown command was never being issued). FITNR.

Not that we "recommend" running these terribly flaky alphas in the first place, but I think this bug is serious enough (heat issues, vibration sensitivity issues) that I now don't recommend using these alphas at all until alpha 7 which will have it fixed.

And before anyone (like me) says But my drives spin down -- I can hear the difference! -- if they do so, it is probably due to Hijack, which adds a failsafe spindown to the drives. This is needed to ensure drives don't stay spun up indefinitely after a web or ftp access to the player.

Cheers

Bah. I've been using the alpha in my car, with the disks spun up for hours at a time. No problems.

If I start the player and then pull the power I can hear the drives spin down. If, however I give it a minute and then do it I don't hear them. This is repeatable.

As I said, this is expected behaviour with Hijack installed.

If no Hijack, then the drives may still spindown, or not, depending on the behaviour of bugs in the v3alphas.

Hijack v371 will be released shortly -- it halves the spindown timeout that Hijack imposes when a v3alpha release is detected. This will result in faster spindowns than at present, to help compensate more for the v3alpha behaviour.

Cheers

>the player's "serial notify" information is now being output
>differently than in v2final. Anyone else see this?


From the v3alpha7 release notes:
For various reasons, the player now opens the serial port in "raw" (character-orientated) rather than "cooked" (line-orientated) mode; this may or may not be a problem in practice, but is a change from earlier versions.

Another side-effect is that Control^C no longer works to terminate the player. But happily the 'q' command DOES work.

LOL. I'm imagining a sporting arena filled up with all of these grammarians groaning as they pour through software manuals and release notes.

Perhaps the empeg lads were a little disorientated from an afternoon at the pub? That's certainly the time when I'd prefer to do my documentation...

Hmm, that's no good then, I think we'll be changing it back (at least for Linux products -- it was something that made life a lot easier for Karma on Ecos). Something else I've just thought of is that this makes it nigh-on impossible to manually enter multi-character commands (e.g. to play a FID by number).

Is it just me or does it also break hijack's serial notify suppression? Or maybe something else broke that, nevertheless it doesn't work for me in a7.

It's not a spelling issue. Oriented comes from orient, which means to align. Orientated comes from orientate, which means to turn to the east.

That's a compellingly neat theory, which unfortunately is completely unsupported by OED -- which would have them synonyms, in all the important meanings.

Fair enough. I'm not near my OED now, but that's what US usage says.

My other argument is that there's no need to add superfluous suffixes. (Which is actually the basis for my argument and a pet peeve.)

Actually, orient means to turn to the east as well, but I can see the need to spell it out in certain circumstances.

The OED, also, by definition, is exceedingly conciliatory. Its purpose is to record any significant usage of a word, educated or not, not to define the language.
