Thank you for this information. It does look interesting. If we use mplayer, gstreamer or xine as backend, both solutions are covered by backend. So users can choose any of them as long as they set the environment right. Alert sound need to write directly into the audio server. But I think we are in no hurry to make a decision. We probably can wait a while to see which project stands in the end. :D Yen-Ju > > -- > Hubert Chan - email & Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ > PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA (Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net) > Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA > > _______________________________________________ > Etoile-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss > _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
