NEW: audio/potamus
Hi ports -- Attached is a new port, audio/potamus. Potamus is a lightweight GTK+2 audio player designed to use your filesystem to sort music, rather than a complex database. Works well for me on amd64 and macppc. OK? ~Brian potamus.tgz Description: Binary data

And the code looks fairly sane compared to some other audio apps I've peeked into. It uses libao or jack so it works with sndio. It needs a graphical file manager (e.g. Thunar) to add tracks via drag+drop which may not be everyone's cup of tea. Minor nits: - why not adding yourself as maintainer ? - PLIST lacks @exec/@unexec-delete goos for .desktop files and hicolor icon theme - missing RUN_DEPENDS on desktop-file-utils (needed for the .desktop goo) other than that ok to import.

Potamus knows nothing about the files it's playing other than their names, and tries to make it as easy as possible to use your file manager to locate and play music. It can decode FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG audio, and any format supported by the ModPlug, audiofile or FFmpeg libraries (including WAV, Shorten, and various module formats). It supports 24-bit audio output and gapless playback. potamus.tar.gz Description: application/tar-gz
