Migration from 0.5 to 0.6 Gain can't set initial volume

[Nazariglez]

Hello!

I am migrating from 0.5 to 0.6 and I saw that Gain doesn't allow anymore to set the initial volume, to do that I should use FixedGain but then it seems that GainControl cannot be used in the same way. Is there a way to set the volume before it starts playing and allows to change it after by the user?

This is the code I want to migrate: https://github.com/Nazariglez/notan/blob/f/prepare0.7.0/crates/notan_oddio/src/backend.rs#L290

And this is an example of how it works now using 0.5.0. You can set the volume before clicking pause and it will start at that level.

I would appreciate any hint. Thanks

Looks like that case isn't covered by the current API. https://github.com/Ralith/oddio/pull/94 should address that.

Released in 0.6.1.

That was fast, thanks!

Though I notice two things now, the first one is that -60.0 dbs is not "silence" anymore, my set_volume function that maps 0-1 to -60-0 has sound no matter if I pass 0.0 as volume.

Another thing is that no matter the volume I pass (could be 0.0 or 0.5 whatever) before playing the sound, the first second* (is less than a second) you hear always at maximum volume and then starts to fade fast.

Maybe something that I do wrong?

Pure silence is unrepresentable in decibels, but somewhere between -60 and -90 is inaudible in most listening environments. Zero decibels is no change, not silence.

maximum volume and then starts to fade fast.

Whoops, that's an API limitation. Will fix.

0.6.2 adds dedicated setters on Gain that aren't subject to smoothing.

Works like a charm!

Thank you so much for the help, the time, and the work.
