Comment(by mikus):
Did a test with side-by-side XO-1.5, XO-1, me reciting numbers:[[BR]]
XO-1.5: Custom os118 (with kernel 20100409.1311), Record-66[[BR]]
XO-1: Virgin build 802, Record-59
Using the 'Audio' panel, both XOs recorded what I said. On clicking on
the recoding (icon in bottom tray), the audio playback at both XOs had
equal volume levels. Since the problem in #9641 is described as "XO-1.5
recording levels", I would say that that VERY_SPECIFIC description of the
problem has now been fixed.
----
But there is more to the XO than just doing audio record/playback within
the Record Activity. Although both XOs recorded using the 'Video' panel,
the XO-1.5 video playback (in Record) had no sound (the XO-1 had both
video and sound).
And when the recordings (both from 'Audio' and from 'Video') were put in
the Journal, only the XO-1 was able to play them back (both 'Audio'
recording and 'Video' recording played o.k. - both launched Browse to
output the respective material). On the XO-1.5, the 'Audio' recording
gave an error, and the 'Video' recording appeared to be without sound. [I
could not tell how well the video information was being shown -- on the
XO-1.5 the picture (taken indoors) was so dark that I could not tell what
it was supposed to show -- whereas the picture on the XO-1 was much much
bigger, and bright enough to show things clearly).
For recording, I expect the XO-1.5 target audience to use the Record
activity, rather than CLI commands. Unless the Video/Audio performance of
Record on the XO-1.5 matches the performance on the XO-1, I expect XO-1.5
users would be disappointed.
