Kernel Streaming Output for VLC

Postby CloudStalker » 27 Dec 2008 02:22

What is Kernel Streaming Output user asks? "Kernel Streaming Output allows bit-exact playback bypassing Windows mixer". This is currently implemented into some other media players, Foobar2000, Winamp, ect. More info

VLC is great for video playback and streaming and such, but this could give it a boost in the audio department. Indeed, implement this or else.... :shock:

No no, not "or else", CloudStalker promised himself that he wouldn't threaten the developers. 8)

I think Port Audio output should support this already.

you need to compile port audio again with some modifications (look Usage part). I haven't tested this, but I think it should work.

What CloudStalker would like to suggest is that this be put into VLC as an option. For those that want to use the player for music listening, this would be a great way to do so. Well anyway, guess we'll see. 8)

That would be nice indeed.

TBH the Kernel Streaming Output is the main reason why I'm using Foobar for playing my audio files instead of VLC.

Well, without many Windows devs, I doubt.
