Dischi, Rob, Mike, Aubin, ... devs ... Maybe "freevo setup" may check that and few more things and alert the user:
* check if /dev/<devices> are readable by the user... use the ROM_MEDIA autodetection to get possible devices... * check if artsd is running and alert the user about using "arts" as mplayer parameter or disable arts (if mplayer doesn't provide arts -ao) * check if there is network connection (at least to cddb) and alert user to disable network in local_config.py * ??more?? maybe BTTV checking? Anyone with some time do implement that?
