From ed5d297301ad07e1c8f59b25184b4148046c1ebe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Kiviniemi Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:19:16 +0300 Subject: ReplayGain filter: allow gain > 100 % The ReplayGain filter clamped the gain to max. 100 % even if the algorithm determined the signal needed a boost. That would result in any such tracks being played with too low volume, effectively defeating the purpose of the filter. --- src/filter/replay_gain_filter_plugin.c | 14 +++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/filter/replay_gain_filter_plugin.c b/src/filter/replay_gain_filter_plugin.c index 4d6080b73..3a0af66ff 100644 --- a/src/filter/replay_gain_filter_plugin.c +++ b/src/filter/replay_gain_filter_plugin.c @@ -55,8 +55,16 @@ struct replay_gain_filter { struct replay_gain_info info; /** - * The current volume, between 0 and #PCM_VOLUME_1 (both - * including). + * The current volume, between 0 and a value that may or may not exceed + * #PCM_VOLUME_1. + * + * If the default value of true is used for replaygain_limit, the + * application of the volume to the signal will never cause clipping. + * + * On the other hand, if the user has set replaygain_limit to false, + * the chance of clipping is explicitly preferred if that's required to + * maintain a consistent audio level.
