We know a shout was louder at the source, but the decibel level at our ears is proportional to 1/distance squared, meaning hushed voices aren't necessarily any quieter "in real life". I'd prefer suspenseful and dramatic scenes both play at similar, comfortable levels. I don't want to have to adjust the volume up and down so I can understand one scene and then not have it be disturbingly loud in the next. In practice, I just use subtitles to circumvent the "difficult to understand" problem.
I haven't tried it for music, but for videos it works pretty well.
Relying on this sounds like a race condition even if the lock is working. In the time between you process the event and getting the lock, the window could have been destroyed.
It shouldn't be too hard to fix if you want to try, either; check client->ignoreCount > 0 when handling X_NOTIFY_ERROR before calling CloseDownClient.
I will definitely look into eBPF and uprobe mentioned in the article, I don't know about them. But wouldn't something like XNest (or XWayland?) help with debugging X? You'd debug an X server running in a window comfortably from your real environment and display server without it being disrupted by the debugging session.
In this situation, don't gdb breakpoint command lists give you exactly what you need (printing stack traces at certain points) with minimal effort? Nothing wrong with using different tools, but it's not clear if that option was considered.
There are a lot of WMs who offer a window list (twm, fvwm). Maybe the guy shall take a look how they do it.
And requests to the X server are not syncroneus.
EDIT: Downvote but don't respond. Even sillier!
Back in the physical media days, it was pretty common for DVD/Bluray players to include this feature. Unfortunately it's not something that streaming app developers thought twice about. Your TV or streaming box also may or may not have the feature.
(insert caveats about: artistic effect; I have zero audio engineering experience; podcasters definitely do some things in this vein e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/podcasting/comments/10oqvpm/podcast...)
You want a 3.1 system (at least) and increase the center channel
P.S.
Even properly mastered content will not work well in a noisy environment (e.g. a car or if you have a dozen fans going because it's summer). Here's my ffmpeg filter for such situations (including a stereo downmix, for those without a center channel):
aformat=channel_layouts=stereo, compand=0 0:1 1:-90/-900 -70/-70 -30/-9 0/-3:6:0:0:0It is absolutely possible and honestly standard fare to have properly balanced audio playing on the $1 tin cans found in TVs and laptops.
