[linux-audio-dev] player suggestion

Hello. After years of waiting, AlsaPlayer succeeded to compile. Here is a report. I post here so that authors of other players can take the hints. Given multiple files, I executed the following: alsaplayer *wav All files are played ok, yes. But when one hits (|<) button the player skips two files back and plays only the two last files. Should it skip to the begin of the last file? Or to the begin of the file list? Not something in between. I also suggest a mode in which the play slider represents the all files concatenated together: o----file1---o----file2----o----file3----o That way one has easier access to all files. The mode would be specially good if one has tens of small sound samples. Also: If I first press <stop>, then why (|<) starts the playing? I just want move to the begin and then play later. So, my suggestion: If player is playing and one presses (|<), it continues playing. If player is not playing and one presses (|<), it only skips to the begin. Further: The playing stops at the end of file, making it impossible to continue scrubbing and speeding infinitely. The player should just stay at the end at the play state. Likewise when playing in reverse direction: player should not go to the stop state at the begin. More: The player played the file and stopped. I moved the play slider to middle and started the play: the player started playing at the begin, not where the play slider was at. Neverending: The playing has been stopped and the play slider is at the begin. I try grab and move the play slider, but nothing happens. I should be able to move the play slider at any point and start playing there. Now playing can start only at the begin. Infinity: After speeding backwards to the begin, the player stopped. Then by pressing play button, I got the following errors and nothing was played: an ERROR occured or EOF (10793). -*- Given that AlsaPlayer has been developed for years now, why I found so many problems? Most of the problems are not technical, but artistic. I have alsaplayer 0.99.76. Regards, Juhana
