However you implement this, it's probably going to work more or less like you're using one instance of rhythmbox and another player. You're going to need a separate UI to control the second track, and you probably wouldn't want to use the same player backend code as rhythmbox normally does. Maybe it'd be simpler to implement a rhythmbox plugin that provided some UI within rhythmbox to control an instance of totem or similar. You could then focus on designing that UI rather than dealing with playback pipelines and basic controls. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
