I don't think there's an open-source audio player that does.

The workflow there is offline; meaning there's no real-time playback of the actual EDL. I got a few [filmsound] projects done using these scripts to generate an initial ardour-session where the original sound is synced according to EDL provided by the film (not video) editor, but I did not have the time to go back and clean up the software [yet]. > Right now this needs ecaplay from ecasound and perl. mplayer is useful to > create the edl files but they can be created by hand. > > Would any cross playform audio player group be willing to add edl playing > (and > creating) functionality to their player? It would make things much simpler. It's not as easy as it may sound. You'll need to be able to perform reliable sample-accurate seeking over multiple files and play them back without gap. If you want to support encoded formats (such as mp3) this can become non-trivial very quickly; it can get even worse if the files mentioned in the EDL have different sample-rates (that's very unusual, but hey) I hazard a guess those are basically the reasons why mplayer does not support EDL for audio. mplayer's playlist & video-EDL feature allows you to mix all kind of codecs/formats: seeking to video-frames (with video-frame accuracy is easier). ciao, robin > (I guess I really need to add in a GPL license section to the file... soonest. > > all the best, > > drew -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkv79nIACgkQeVUk8U+VK0K02wCdF9iJxrbn2uEFE1vIkLSh7PTB UMgAn3Y/XpGfSs2itL0RFLwsOvjLU2nD =ze1n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
