Description lenz94 2010-11-02 22:01:49 UTC 
I'd like to see the ability to change all importing parameters for the different encoders like lame.
example:
i want to put the parameters -V 0 -q 0 --replaingain-accurate

greetings,
sebastian

Banshee uses GStreamer to do this, so it is not directly possible to pass parameters to lame. I believe the place to look in terms of customizing your encoding would be the audio-profiles.

Comment 2 lenz94 2010-11-04 17:47:24 UTC 
but if gstreamer is used to do this, it would be great to edit this parameters in the settings?
it would be easier, cause i really don't check the audio-profiles file.

greetings,
sebastian

It would be technically possible to offer all options available in the encoder element, but I can't think of any way to make the user-interface not terrible.

The audio-profiles code is there to present the most useful options in a way that makes sense.  

Instead of -V0 -q0 you could use the “Insane” preset, which we do offer.  There's no way to pass --replaygain-accurate to GStreamer as far as I can tell.
Comment 4 Christopher Halse Rogers 2011-06-03 07:13:20 UTC 
I'm going to mark this as WONTFIX; I don't believe that it makes sense to expose all possible encoder settings (although it would be technically possible) - there are a *lot* of them.

If someone can come up with a good design & implementation for such a UI it could be merged, but until then I believe the audio profiles system to be a pretty good solution.
