Any idea why some stations fade in volume as you move or zoom around? This is sooooo annoying. I hated this as a "feature" in There.. and now I am finding that some stations act in this same manner in SL. It is rather odd, as most seem to play at a steady volume over the entire plot of land.

Yeah.. Yeah.. I know I will be told to just find a different station. *grin* I really do like one that acts this way tho. I figure it is something on the broadcasting end. I would kinda like to know what I am talking about so I can contact them about it. What are the odds that they are in SL and will understand, ya know.. LOL

I believe this is a stereo/mono issue. Im not sure if this is all there is too it though.

Your right though, some streams are useless unless you stand right next to the spot you enabled it.

Nope, that's all there is to it. If a stream is mono, you'll hear it coming from the coordinates you were at when you entered the parcel. There's no way to reset it. Pretty annoying, huh?
