<p dir="auto">My question may seem odd at first... I'd like to know if Strawberry has a feature for playing a short interval (say, up to a few seconds) of silence right after starting playback and possibly when skipping tracks. This is to compensate for a "sleep mode" certain audio devices have that cannot be deactivated (e.g. Ifi Micro iDSD Black Label) and that causes the device to cut / fade in about the first second of playback.</p>
<p dir="auto">If so, I'd like to know how to do it. If not, I'd like to suggest this feature to be added in a future version. I use Strawberry both on Windows and Linux.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks in advance for the help!</p>
