lol, I understand that and know it's basically 1.0 (or 0.8 beta or something) for the maemo version. I guess my point is I've come to rely upon it in my handheld and while I can take some instability, I need it to get me where I'm going most of the time. I used the beta on Symbian and went

I've installed panucci from the extras-testing and it seems to work just fine for the most part. However I can't get gpodder to use it. I see that gpodder doesn't have all of the settings available through the gui so I edited the /home/user/.config/gpodder.conf file's player entry to be
