I have been trying from time to time, to get any apps that play sounds or that use java. I figure either the stuff is not there yet, or that I failed to install a package I need. Since fink has been preety good on tracking dependencies, I'm guessing its just not there yet, but I figured I'd ask.
This isn't directly fink related, but I haven't found an app that works as far as playing any streaming media or producing audio output. I tried esd and xmms with no luck. I am a little annoyed with the iMac as a "digitial hub" because there is no Mac OS X real player and Windows Media Player for Mac doesn't have the codecs to play the streams from http://www.wrn.org. I would really like a decent application for streaming audio. (iTunes isn't bad as far as sound, but there is much wrong with its interface from my point of view.) I can't get a system sound to play from within X in the Gnome Control Center. I'm using the sawfish window manager. I have seen posts before on the inaccessibility of the audio hardware from within Darwin, in which case I'm confused about the precense of the end-user audiopackages to start with. Or are these strictly "server" applications? I installed Mozilla through Fink and it works well enough. However, just as with NetScape, if I go to http://www.freecell.com I get a cryptically worded note about unable to install the plugin. I should also note the MSIE also chokes on this eventually but is useable. I haven't exhuastd all the fink browsers (dillo, lynx, etc.)and my Mozilla is apparently an older version, but I've had no luck with this. Also with all these different browser is there a way to maintain a single bookmark file. I currently have MSIE, Mozilla, lynx, and w3m installed -- I've had dillo and NetScape too, just not at the moment. I lose track of what I've save where, and it makes it hard to try new browsers. -- Josh Kuperman [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
