This plugin can be used to remove the gaps between two songs, or to
smoothly crossfade inbetween.
Features:
* Crossfading
Crossfade between two songs, i.e. fade out the end of the current song
while fading in the beginning of the next for a smooth transition. Length
and volume of the fadings can be adjusted separately for fading in and
out.
* Fadein/Fadeout
Smoothly fadein/fadeout at the beginning or end of playback.
* Continuous output
Keeps the audio device opened when switching from one song to the next.
When used with the Gap-Killer, this allows for seamless playback of whole
albums without any audible interruption between the tracks.
* Gap-Killer
Removes the short gaps of silence at the beginning and/or end of mp3
files. These gaps are caused by some mp3-encoders.
* Automatic detection of live albums
Automatically detects live albums and pre-mixed tracks which already are
crossfaded. For those tracks, crossfading can be disabled automatically.
* High quality
XMMS-crossfade can take special care to avoid the clicks some
soundcards produce when suddenly being stopped. Also, it can improve
quality when seeking within a song.
* Secondary effect plugin:
XMMS-crossfade allows you to select a second effect plugin. This is
usefull for example when using the volume normalizing plugin together
with the icecast plugin.
