I'm probably the only one with this problem but...

I use kalarm to wake me up. Have done that for years and years.

The handbook says:

Quote:
If the Phonon audio backend currently in use supports it, you can fade the volume


And that was the case until recently. Phonon supported fade, and there was UI in Kalarm to set up fade. Which I did, and woke up every day with ny music playing softly, and gradually becoming louder and louder.

After the update to phonon-4.12.0-r3, this is apparently no longer the case. The fade UI is gone, and I wake up to speakers blasting at 100% volume, which makes me nervous and those around me angry.

This is no good. How do I get my fade back?

You might also want to report this issue to the developers


Developers apparently know, I found this in the source code of phonon-backend-vlc:

Code:
#warning VFE crashes and has volume bugs ... deactivated


(VFE is VolumeFadeEffect)

VLC is the only backend available now, as gstreamer has been deprecated. There is a third party backend called phonon-mpv but it doesn't seem to support any effects.
