When in_mad is set to output in 24 or 32 bits thevis displays in winamp are quite messy. I'd assume this is because most winamp vis plugins expect 16 bit data.
Yep.
I think it could probably be fixed by writing16 bit data to the vis routines while still writing 24 or 32 bit data to the output. I started to try it myself, but I do not currently have the proper tools to build mad. I futzed with it a bit it looked like it would take more than a little work to make MAD friendly with MSVC.
There are a few mad hackers out there who've made it work, but it's far easier to use GCC.
So my questions are:
- Do you(Rob) have the time or desire to try changing
the vis output?
I have desire, but there are other things I'd rather work on first.
- Is it currently possible to build in_mad on a windows box?
If so which port of gcc do I need, and do you know where I can get it?
Yes, get Cygwin from:
Building is as easy as ./configure && make.
Also, you may want to join the developer mailing list (mad-dev).
