True, and it doesn't try to duplicate XMMS anyway. It had only started as a fork of BMP. From its description: | Historically, it started as a fork of Beep Media Player (BMP), which | itself forked from XMMS. With emphasis on "historically" -- so much has been rewritten. That's good, because some of the inherited visualization code (especially for the scaled skinned mode) was really ugly with lots of stack-smashing and other forms of memory corruption. > and indeed they are very different from each other. xmms (with ALSA) > is the only player that consistently worked for me with no problems > for the last 11 years.

It might still be possible to copy fixes from Audacious' Pulse Audio output plugin (which had started with the same code base), but it could be that touching XMMS will also be necessary (with regard to saving/restoring volume levels). If anyone thinks xmms-pulse works, oh well, keep it, but don't just keep it because it still builds. I assume that Lennart Poettering, the (original) author of that plug-in, could tell what's wrong with it nowadays. > Anyhow it looks like spot was kind enough to pick it up, so no worries :) Already long ago. -- Fedora release 19 (Rawhide) - Linux 3.8.0-0.rc7.git0.1.fc19.x86_64 loadavg: 0.10 0.22 0.28 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
