    Hi Symphy (and everybody else:)).

    in the "About" thread you wrote:

    This player does not support:
    Crossfading

    Does that include fade-in and fade-out when skipping and start/stop? Because when I enable "fade-in on stop, fade-out on start" it works, but only for fade out. Is this normal?
    I tested with very long (1000 ms) fading length to be sure, and it fades out when I skip and when I stop, but doesn't fade in when I start playing or after the fade-out when I skip.
    I would especially like fade-in because my receiver emits a small "click" when starting to play a sound because there is a slight delay between when the ATI starts sending the audio and when my receiver detects the format and starts playing and fading-in would probably get rid of the clicks.

    Thanks for the help!

    My system: XP SP3, MP 1.0.2, PureAudio 0.2.1, HDMI audio from Radeon 4650 with ATI driver 10.4, ASIO4ALL 2.10 Beta 1, Windows audio set to stereo speakers.

    Crossfading means mixing the end of one song with the beginning of the next and is indeed not supported.

    Fade-in/out is supported, but the behaviour you describe is by design actually. Fade-in is only applied when resuming from pause and starting a webstream, because then you start somewhere in the middle of the music. When starting a track from the beginning, PureAudio does not apply fade-in, in order not to break the first notes of the music.

    If the reciever produces the click, then a fade-in is probably not gonna fix that. What happens if you pause and resume?

    Oh OK I can see the point it makes sense as you described it.

    I gave up on fading entirely, I can live with the clicks. After further testing I think it's coming from ASIO4ALL and the way it interacts with the kernel buffers. No big deal, thanks for the explanation.
