AlsaPlayer license is changed to GPL-v3. In consequence, all the AlsaPlayer
related packages are updated.
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.

#####################################
AlsaPlayer-0.99.80-rc2 is the new GTK2 release of this versatile audio player.
A lot of debugging and improvements has been made on the GTK2 interface (and
under the surface too). The GTK1 interface was removed in the process.
GTK2 is now fully internationalized and a few languages are provided.
Extended header support in mp3 file is added, so the console will not complain
anymore about this, and the user's experience is improved.
Every user is encouraged to upgrade AlsaPlayer and help with development, bug
reports, feature requests, translations...
We need your help with a few things:
* Bug reports
* Feature requests
* Artwork contributions
* Translation for more languages and improvement of the existing ones.
*************************************
FftSope-1.0.6
FftScope is a nice visualization plugin for AlsaPlayer.
It is now under GPL-v3 and the GTK1 interface is removed from the package.
The GTK2 interface provide the same level of functionality as before.
*********************************
python-alsaplayer-0.3.1
These are python bindings for the AlsaPlayer library. The intent is to provide
a set of bindings that closely mirror the C library, leaving more complex
functionality for purely python modules. This release update the license to
GPL-v3 or later.
************************************
This is the initial release of this midi input plugin for alsaplayer.
It is derived from Tuukka Toivonen's TiMidity and reflects the work of a number
of other people (see AUTHORS).
Compile and install it in alsaplayer's input/ plugin directory, install a
soundfont, then you can play midi files with alsaplayer.
####################################
I hope you will enjoy those releases and AlsaPlayer's very nice GTK2 interface!

Alsaplayer is my player of choice for years now, even the old version
still runs stable whatever version of ALSA or Jack you throw at it.
So I'm glad that it is receiving new attention. From using Alsaplayer
for years personally I only have one feature request: make the
playlist sortable with the mouse. I didn't yet check the new
Alsaplayer, so if this feature request is already implemented, just
forget about it.
Ciao

The problem is that gettext support break the GTK1 interface that just crash

moved in trunk/experimental. So if someone will fix it... Or it is just to use
rc1 that have both GTK1 and GTK2 (without gettext...).

GTK2 is sortable with the mouse. You can copy and past files directly too (even
some playlists from the web).

Ah, wonderful, finally the perfect player. Hopefully it turns up in
Debian soon. ;)

Here, with rc2 the playlist is not mouse-sortable. If I pick up a title I do
get a dragcon but the title is not moved. What am I missing?

The entry will be copied, and you have to select the one you don't want and
click on the remove button.
We will discuss this and we will see what append. What I personally think is
that it would be better if the default behaviour would be to move the file, and
a preference option or better, drag with another mouse button to copy the
file.

player.
Great. Thank you, I'm using alsaplayer for years and I like its non-bloat
approach a lot. Wish it could play more formats though, for example "rbs"
(MPEG ADTS, layer III, v2, 32 kBits, 22.05 kHz, Monaural).

We need your help with a few things:
* Bug reports
This one might qualify: alsaplayer seems to depend on file suffixes.
Like "alsaplayer music.flac" plays ok. cp music.flac music ->
"alsaplayer
music" -> does not play.
It might feel more natural if playback with negative speed (backwards) jumped
backwards on file boundaries, not forward.
rc2's playlist now prints "Unknown" (alongside the filename) for untagged
files which I have a lot of. I liked the old way better: gracefully ignore
the absence of tags and print the filename only.

We must look at it. We was discussing to implement a TCP based interface, so I
don't know if we will do that when implementing this or before.

I can add it on the TODO list. It will be great if folks can contribute more
input plugins. It is currently some work in progress in the svn
(trunk_/experimental): ape, wavpack, tta and ffmpeg. This last one is at a very
early stage.

Ok: I'm folk, I'm great, but I can't contribute more input plugins. Me happy
camper on the user side.
I wonder: If you took the audio decoder section of a fully-fledged
mplayer ... ? It plays a _lot_ of audio formats.
After playing no.2 backwards (with negative speed) alsaplayer jumps to (the
end of) no.3. I'd rather have it jump to (the end of) no.1
Bye, Wolfgang
ps: my irony-alarm went off and made me say a hundred times: I'm not great,
ok?

You can use the slave interface with mplayer. It is in fact how it work best
for me. It never crash even when it hang (it is just to use the control button
described above to play the next/previous song/movie).
I done a fvwm button to control it, and it is integrated into the last
fvwm-crystal release (3.0.5) as well as an AlsaPlayer control (and some other
things like a freedesktop compatible menu or an improved amixer control from
the audio button).
I took the idea for mplayer from
http://fvwm.lair.be/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1755&hilit=mplayer
This link describe the available commands:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/slave.txt
fvwm-crystal: http://fvwm-crystal.org/
I like very much this fvwm based de. FVWM is the only one wm I have try that
give me a performance hit with my box. And fvwm-crystal just work and it is
relatively easy to modify-add functions with it.

I agree. Will be on the TODO list too. But we will discuss it first. It must
be possible to make something better as to print the last folder name instead of
Unknown.
