To me it seems that coning should work the same as before commit 02f9edfd77302eabc0a8a6e45a9423ebe2b1acef (which introduced panning between multiple speakers). In that commit AngleBetweenVectorsRad was changed in the way that it is now and there was no comment about how it would affect coning code. So there are 2 possibilities: 1. Coning was broken before 02f9edfd77302eabc0a8a6e45a9423ebe2b1acef, got silently fixed by that commit, and will be broken again after my patch. 2. Coning was fine before 02f9edfd77302eabc0a8a6e45a9423ebe2b1acef, and will be the same after my patch. Which of these is true I don't know, I would appreciate if anybody could point out to me how could I test it. 2015-03-24 19:31 GMT+03:00 Andrew Eikum &lt;aeikum(a)codeweavers.com&gt;om>: > Forwarding on to wine-devel, Stas, and Ruslan from Bug 38041. > > > Andrew > > On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 09:52:32PM +0000, Mark Harmstone wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I've had a play with it, and yes, I think he's right.
