Could we pull together all of the relevant parties and determine what to do about beep/audacious?
There are several bugs against beep ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/beep-media-player/+bugs ); I doubt they will be resolved and the situation will probably only get worse as the underlying infrastructure changes (e.g., switching to PulseAudio). I just tested audacious for two bugs that still exist in beep, and both are gone with audacious. (I've closed these bug reports; perhaps I should not have, just yet.) So far, no bugs are reported against audacious ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/audacious/+bugs ), but this may very well be because it is only in Feisty and Feisty is not thus far released. Ideally, we could get rid of beep and provide a "migration" script for current beep users - a nice little dialog that will basically tell the user that beep-media-player is now called "audacious", then offers to launch audacious... -- bmp is deprecated by upstream ==> please replace it by Audacious https://launchpad.net/bugs/66322 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
