Yes, as I said in my first post - I'm midk. :) midk == midkay (irc) ==
midknight2k3 a long time ago.. the customizable fade curves were my
suggestion.

> What about disabling crossfade ONLY if manual skip ? :)

That sounds worth implementing too. :)

Used it more today.. still no glitches. Must be related to Wavpack, yeah.

Next-gen WPS demo.

I've more or less finished my next-gen WPS design and supporting code.  I've 
uploaded a demo animation on my mod's new homepage here: 
http://rockbox.gl.tter.org

The design was Photoshop'ed first without regard to actual WPS limitations 
(except for sticking to a single font), and then I added the necessary 
supporting code to make it happen.

Tech. highlights include WPS viewports (pixel-accurate text positioning with 
clipping rectangle), bitmap-based peakmeter animations, 111 bitmaps (so far) 
and all kinds of WPS mods/extensions.

Ah, misread that as 'I'm *not* midk' for some reason : ).  Any idea what 
might be causing the problems on Wavpack?

That worked great - you can see it in the demo (see other mail).

Re: Next-gen WPS demo.

Looks very nice... too bad I'll evidently not be able to see it in CVS ever. :(

Best of luck...

Re: midk: Crossfade skipping tracks only.

:) No idea about the wavpack problems.. not only do I never use the
codec, I don't get into all the codec stuff anyways..

By the way - does crossfading "always" work fine, or does it have this bug too?

Good question, I'll let you know tomorrow.

Nearly all of the higher-level rockbox code runs in the sim (apps/*),
and a significant amount of the firmware/ stuff. The goal is that
everything that isn't hardware-specific gets compiled natively and runs
as-is in the sim. See the UiSimulator wiki page.

I've noticed that playlists don't get created correctly in the sim also
(I actually thought it was a problem with my branch at the time, since I
was doing some development relating to playlist creation). I don't know
how long that's been going on, you might want to put it on the bug
tracker.

Missing Record option from H1x0 sim?

All three. 

Nobody has bothered to implement the API stubs needed to make the 
recording screen display.
