Package: mpd
Version: 0.15.1-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I just started using mpd and works great. I just think it would be
better, if the installed /etc/mpd.conf should have the following
commented out by default, in the Audio Output section:
device "hw:0,0" # optional
format "44100:16:2" # optional
mixer_device "default" # optional
mixer_control "PCM" # optional
mixer_index "0" # optional
I know it says that it's optional. But with those uncommented sound
quality suffers. I played a podcast that I had listened to before and
the voices sounded a bit robotic/metallic. So I did some research and asked
some questions in #mpd on freenode. And I was told that it's better for alsa
to take care of those settings. I came to the same conclusions after
commenting out those lines.
Tried what was suggested and sound quality was much better. Listened to the
same podcast and it sounded great now. I understand that with those commented
out
mpd will use ~6 more cpu cycles, at least that is what I saw here on two
machines.
But I think it's well worth the trade off, and better for new users to have
those
commented out by default.
Thank You,
Michel
