AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players. This is a feature enhancement and minor bugfix release. Support for FLAC-1.3 and 1.4 is added. A desktop file is included. See the ChangeLog for the details. I will also remember you at a new and usable python binding module is available in a separate package. Those bindings cover the functionality in control.h. More functionality can be added it you want, but this level of functionality must be what you are looking for in most cases. -- Dominique Michel
