Some known problems:
- the user interface doesn't seem responsive at the end of modules.
That's normal. The song is actually finished. You're listening to
the buffered song. I'm trying to find a proper way to handle that.
- the scroll window doesn't open when I ask for it.
Performance reasons. The scroll display is only computed when you ask
for the scroll window. Since the sound is buffered, you first have to
listen to all the buffered sound before the scroll window appears.
- song lists/loading song doesn't work as I expected.
Doesn't work as I expect either, at least not all the time.
Needs some cleanup...
- I have 1.3 and tracker doesn't run.
Upgrade...
- I'm confused about the menu speed items.
Their state don't acurately reflect what's going on, but PAL and NTSC
work (once again, since the sound is buffered, there's some delay).
Custom is just a provision for the future.
- the sound filter is always off.
Not implemented yet.
- I've got a song which tracker doesn't play correctly.
Send it to me, it's interesting !
- tracker doesn't understand powerpacked modules.
It doesn't need to. Install xpk and xfh and it'll work.
- tracker is much bigger than some other players and takes up
more memory.
But it should work on every amiga, is cpu-efficient, and supports
some unique features.
- plays lha modules
- transpose modules
- scroll-window, somewhat more readable than just plain ciphers.
- font-sensitive interface.
- the invert loop effect sounds weird
too difficult to implement properly (call back...) right now
- tracker loses some memory sometimes
There seems to be a bug with the CON:.../AUTO/WAIT windows that stay around
forever under the 3.1 beta I've got on my system. I haven't been able to check
whether the problem stays under other system versions.
Anyway, if the problem occurs:
- not when you launch tracker the first time (since opening audio at first
DOES consume some memory)
- when you don't have any console window appearing.
this is a real problem ! Do tell me about it !
