In case you missed it in LAA and have any interest...
I am excited to announce the release of Mixer4 v 1.08 and Waveplayer
1.0.
Waveplayer is a lightweight (16 KB in size) console-based .wav player
using ALSA. It allows you to choose start and stop playback points,
and repeat playback or editing of those points.
I'm quite interested in waveplayer although I admit I've not tried it
yet as it doesn't sound like it quite fills my needs just yet.
Up until recently my main player has been moc but I've been having
numerous issues with it under Wheezy recently so I've switched to
Audacious but Audacious doesn't auto-detect ALSA/JACK/PA and I don't
really need a X11 UI - curses/text is good enough and preferred by me.
I've tried cmus but didn't like it.
So, is waveplayer going to remain just a wav player or might you
expand it to play wav, FLAC, ogg and MP3 (I need all 4 as a bare
minimum) and hopefully add sound system auto-detection too?
Does anyone know of any existing alternatives to moc that do all this?
I really don't need any other features from a audio player.

Hi Dan,
I have no plans to add other formats at this time, sorry. Mostly,
because I wouldn't know where to begin, honestly, I wrote it initially
as a stand alone function to go into Mixer4. I am interested in
integrating it with Jack at some point. And, it will be quite easy to
add a looping function.

Hi Dan,
You could try mpd with one of the ncurses frontends ncmpc or ncmpcpp.
Those are my favorites. I think they play all the formats you want.
gmpc is a very nice gtk frontend for mpd as well.
Greetings,
lieven

Ah yes - mpd. I know I've tried that in the past too but I realise I
forgot to mention it as I can't remember what turned me off it. I'm
not sure I tried both the ncurses front ends though so I will give
them both (another?) go and see if it does suit me.
Although I learned to accept vim (mainly because its the de-facto
Linux editor that comes pre-installed with most distros), I'm not a
fan of other apps that try to replicate its oddities so I hope they
don't involve lots of key combos and illogical commands to use - I do
appreciate mocs no nonsense TUI so I'm hoping for something similar.
ncmpcpp though? Seriously, that has to rank as one of the most
obscure, unmemorable and difficult to pronounce app names ever and God
knows I've seen some mingers in my time! :)
Thanks Lieven!

presumably you're not familiar with the english familiar insult name
"nincompoop" (spelling may vary). i don't know for sure, but i'd wager
you
could use this to help work on how to pronounce it.

Aha! Yes, you're right - I didn't spot that one did I Mr D?
Who's the nincompoop now? :)
