This is a small update only

No new features. The only change is the implementation of the new plugin interface which will soon be a requirement for Miranda 0.8 (currently in early alpha development stage).

This is for people who are testing preview builds of Miranda 0.8 ONLY. Please do not download this when you are still running a stable Miranda version (0.7.x or earlier) as this may not work.

The binary archive contains both UNICODE and ANSI versions of the plugin in separate folders. Obviously, you should only install one of them :)

SndVol Plugin source code

Binary from googlecode

Recently, I discovered a new plugin for Miranda which made me want to revise a somewhat older and partially unmaintained plugin. I'am talking about mRadio, a quite new plugin which can play mp3 and various other audio streams from the basically does the same as Winamp or ITunes, but uses a lot less resources, because it is not an entire application - only a small plugin loaded into Miranda.

The SndVol plugin is a well known extension for all multiwindow - enabled contact lists. In its basic form, it provides only 2 simple features:

• Set the volume for event sounds (for example, the "incoming message sound"
• Provide a button to mute and unmute the event sounds

While this is not much, the plugin does its job well. It creates a small frame on the contact list containing the mute button and a slider control for setting the volume. My changes are basically a few new features which allow SndVol to control the mRadio plugin. You can now quickly set the mRadio volume using the slider on the contact list and the mute feature does work with mRadio. And finally, I added an option to change the background color of the frame. That's all.
