[gst-devel] volume plugin with dparams

[Baker, Steve]

The volume plugin looks very trivial to dparamise using the callback method
of updating the param.  See sinesrc for an example of a dparams based plugin
which can control its volume.

dparams really come into their own in a non-live app, but it can still add
value to a live app. The dparams lib would be a good place to implement the
following
- mapping logarithmic values to linear ui controls (done)
- implementing smoothing so that rapid value changes don't cause audible
discontinuities (done)
- saving a session of knob-twiddling for later playback
- creating dparams which change their value according to some function (LFO,
ramps, etc)

I presume you would like to save the control actions from a live performance
for later playback and manipulation.  The dparams layer would be the right
place to implement this but I haven't yet worked out the details of how this
would be done (MIDI may be part of the picture here but not the only part).
