Multiple Output Plugin v1.5

Multiple Output Plugin and I D are proud to present its v1.5 facelift.

Judging from the change log below due care and effort has been put in fine-tunning this release, in order to restore the bad publicity that has built-up over time for its incompatibility issues with 3rd party plugins.

This version fixes major compatibility issues with most output plugins reported to me and in Winamp’s Official Forums (still one pending, VolumeLogic, but I have already contacted their support staff, as the incompatibility is on the other party’s behalf) some of them being the ever popular AndrewLabs ATSurround Processor and SqrSoft Advanced Crossfading output plugins.

The core output plugin loading and menu populating procedure has been recoded from scratch, to a more reliable version that takes into account only the output plugins loaded by Winamp.

Also numerous hotkey fixes that nobody has ever reported (seems nobody uses the hotkey feature) and some code clean-up.
Change Log - Build 1.5

  • New method of loading output plugins
  • Added compatibility with AndrewLabs ATSurround Processor output plugin and SqrSoft Advanced Crossfading output plugin
  • When no output plugin is selected ‘Multiple Output Plugin’ searches first for DirectSound and then for waveOut output plugins
  • Fixed DSP/Effect menu item not updating correctly in extraordinary situations
  • Fixed hotkey registration of plugins with the same name description, when two or more instances of an output plugin are loaded
  • Hotkeys will register correctly irrespective of other output plugin version changes
  • Cleaned-up the code
  • Until further notice VolumeLogic v1.31 should be used in the following dataflow situation:
    [Winamp] > [VolumeLogic] > [Multiple Output Plugin] > [DirectSound or any other output plugin]

This fine release is up for grabs here and it is a must update.
