voice over music #12

Closed DoNck closed 10 years ago

I typically use your software (thanks!) while walking/biking/in the bus with my headphones. The point is the notifications are not always audible when music is playing. I would like the music volume to lower during notifications the same way GPS navigators do. Other option: pausing the music, it may be easier to implement.

You can try changing the Audio Stream setting to Notification, which might mute music while VN speaks, though apparently that was changed in recent versions of Android so it no longer works that way.

I've put the suggestion in my task list. Thanks!

I tried this, but it does not really work : The music is successfully lowered during the notification sound, but it comes back to the original level right after it, so it is not lowered during the TTS. (I'm using VN v1.0.10.1 from f-droid repo on a Sony Ericsson Xperia ray with Sony Ericsson ROM Android 2.3.4)

I'm not (yet) an Android developper, but I can look into the API & docs to find out how this is supposed to be handled. Tell me if you want me to.

Implemented by Scott Albertine in pull request #15. Thanks Scott!
