Exclusive-Mode Audio

Unread post by adisib » 2015-06-17, 18:02

Chrome has had for a while the ability to stream audio through WASAPI Exclusive by using a command-line flag:
https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome? ... w=revision

This is handy for musicians to collaborate over the internet with essential low latency, for Audiophiles, and for a convenient way to prevent other sounds from intruding while listening to music or other audio. Obviously something low-priority, but something that could be useful for some users if implemented.

WASAPI communication has actually only just been implemented in the latest version of Pale Moon. It has basic support for the API, but I'd need (a lot) more info to be able to extend this support. Just a revision note won't help me here, so if you can find out the exact code change and discussions around the implementation (similar to a bugzilla bug for Firefox) like an issue tracker, then that would be great.

Ah that's why i have interferences when i use music software, i just opened a thread recently about this problem. And no way to mute the sound except using the icon in the Windows taskbar. Since all these years not even basic functions, bah.

intofix: Please keep your support requests (if this complaint is one, to begin with) in relevant boards. This is about a feature request for a specific type of audio-exclusivity, not about muting audio.

Maybe i have not understood well as you suggested, but "and for a convenient way to prevent other sounds from intruding while listening to music or other audio" is exactly my problem sorry. And no response about that in the appropriate forum.

The issue was linked to in that revision, with the code and comments and diffs (I should have posted that instead, sorry):
https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/10575017
It looks like it was also discussed here:
