What are some alternatives to Audacious mp3/CD player? I really liked the old XMMS and used it right up until it was taken off portage. Audacious seems to resemble XMMS closely enough, but it seems more fragile. I have it working well on one gentoo box, but on this box, I am just having no luck

Amarok is feature-rich, but heavy indeed. I don't recommend it for a drop-in XMMS replacement. If you like the idea of editing mp3 tags and organzing your music really nicely, browsing it 3 different ways and seeing cover art from amazon.com and such, amarok is for you. Ha... yea, my use

[gentoo-user] some scratchy/static noise from Intel High-Def Audio

When I first installed and configured all ALSA-related things, the sound was working perfectly fine, and I was quite pleased. Now, about a week later, I've started picking up this rather annoying scratchy static noise while using Audacious. Some stats: Intel D955XBK motherboard with an

Try to reduce the PCM channel to max. 80%. The higher I set PCM, the more scratchy the sound gets. Elias - I played around with the alsamixer quite a bit, but the noise is present even at the substantially lower levels. I wish it were as simple as that ;-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm curious to know your approach to keeping your Gentoo box current without it becoming a full-time job. I'm not talking about maintaining servers - just your daily driver, so to say. How often do you sync with the current portage tree and compare it your versions in world? Should one do this
