Re: [ecasound] Smooth on-the-fly volume control?

Hi,

Julien already gave quite a few options, but just in case you are looking
for something even simpler...

You might be looking for 'cop-set' and other "real-time commands" (see
ecasound-iam(1) man page and the section on real-time commands). In short,
"cop-set XX" will set amplify to XX (and do so without interrupting playback).
Check the man page for more details.

Hmm, that is new to me. Sounds like a bug in the polling mechanism... tips
on how to reproduce this with a mimimal ecasound setup would be welcome.
