[SailfishDevel] ngfd ini files documentation

[Krzysztof Lesiak]

Alright, now I've switched to using libngf-qt5 for my testing application so I don't have to rely on triggering the right notifications.


Plus, I've found the config lines interfering with my music playback:


sound.stream.media.role = notification
sound.stream.droid.device.additional-route = AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_SPEAKER


When those two are commented out in an event file, the notification tone is played "on top" of the currently played music.

The first one is the main offender because it mutes playback, but if the second is left uncommented, there are audio hitches at the beginning and the end of notification tone playback.


I literally just came up with it and haven't tested it thoroughly, but if there aren't any unwanted effects introduced by my changes, is there any way I could propose a patch for inclusion into a future update? This was one of my main annoyances with the OS and I think it makes for a far better user experience if music playback isn't completely muted on certain types of events.

Also, if there are any sailors responsible for ngfd reading this list, what do you think about this?


Regards,

Krzysztof

Subject: [SailfishDevel] ngfd ini files documentation


Hi all,



I wanted to ask if there is any documentation on ngfd, specifically about the event .ini files. I'd like to prevent IM/SMS tones muting audio playback because it's pretty annoying to me when I'm listening to music. Someone on IRC already pointed me to ngfd being responsible for that policy, but there isn't any real documentation in the git repository. Can anyone explain the general format of the .ini files in events.d? Also, is there a better way to test my changes than sending myself messages from another device?



Best Regards,

Krzysztof
