It is a really nice little player with some unique feature such its speed control. Gentoo have removed it from portage because, according to gentoo's devs, it is no maintained upstream. If I look on alsaplayer email list, a debian's dev send a few patch to correct some security bugs. Those patches work very well and they have not even been incorporated in the cvs or in a bugs correction release. It will be really sad if such a player will disappear. I don't care of the look of a program so long at it do the work. And it is the only one that have a speed control. I done an alsaplayer-mixer for fvwm with the capability to change the pitch by a value of a comma around the normal speed, and by halve notes after. I don't understand why this project is dead. The old gtk1 release with the debian patches compile just fine even on gcc-4.1.1. The cvs version fail to compile in my box (gentoo), but it seam to be a gtk2 problem, not an internal API problem. The fix in the case of the gtk1 release is to incorporate the debian patches. In the case of the cvs version and its gtk2 interface, some programmers have to look in the code. So, it is 2 problems. 1) It is no maintainer for the gtk1 release. It is very sad because it is not a full time job at all. 2) More work is needed for the gtk2 release. I personally don't care about it if it is no new features with it beside the look but, and it is a big but, I think at on the long run, a gtk2 interface is a must have in order to archive the succes of this program.

I think that's the reason why it has been removed. --Sergei. Once again, I will not discuss about gentoo policy. I have an ebuild that incorporate the debian fixes. You can catch it from this overlay: http://proaudio.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page For what I know, the debian patches fix those security flaws. The problem is at you can catch those fixes in the email list, but they have not even been incorporated in the tarball or in the cvs on the website. If you read the last emails in the email list, when someone ask for help or is willing to help to fix things, it doesn't even get an answer. And that from around one year ago. It is not so at no one is willing to fix this player. As example: http://lists.tartarus.org/pipermail/alsaplayer-devel/2006-May/001891.html The 28 May 2006, Hubert Chan from Debian send a few fixes from him and other peoples. They don't even been incorporated in the cvs or in the tarball. And Hubert don't even get an answer. Is it not possible to incorporate the alsaplayer in another project with a website where the people(s) in charge will at least incorporate the fixes that other peoples are making, as the debian fixes? It is 3 things they are unique with the alsaplayer on linux: Its ability to control the speed, its ability to control the speed forward and backward, and its ability to control this function from a terminal, keybindings or a custom menu. As example, with my fvwm menu, I can change the speed by one or 2 commas and that is really a great feature when I am playing guitar at the same time. It take much more less time to do that as to re-tune the guitar. As it is the only player on linux that have this function: my choice is simple. The day it will not be possible to use a player that have this on linux, I will just search for another OS that have such a player, because I will not run wine just to be able to run an audio player that is doing what I want! Another possibility will be to incorporate those functions in another player. I don't care.

I've been trying and trying and I just can't seem to get DD/DTS/AC3 to
work. My receiver receives PCM just fine so at least I know the
physical bits are working.
I have tried both mplayer and ac3dec to drive the card into decoding AC3
but no luck. I believe I have the mixer settings correct. In fact I
think I have everything unmuted and at somewhere in the 2/3 volume

play analog through the liba52 codec) with:

Re: [Alsa-user] alsa-player ?
Thanks for the link, but I am not asking for some advanced sound effect, but for an audio player with a speed control feature, feature that I can incorporate in my menu. As I said before, it is not so at no one is willing to improve the alsaplayer, but at no one is incorporating the fixes send on the devel-email list in the code. So my question is the same: If we will keep this player that have such an unique feature on linux, we need a new site for this player, or to incorporate this feature in another player. I think at the first solution is easier. Dominique Hi Dominique. It is a shame that Alsaplayer isn't being maintained. We are losing too many apps because, either the authors have lost interest, have moved onto other projects, or are just trying to live some sort of life apart from computers. Myself, I use Mhwaveedit, which does have a speed control. https://gna.org/projects/mhwaveedit/ It's basically an editor, but works well as a player for both .ogg's, and .mp3's. It's a tarball install and needs libsamplerate-devel, and libsndfile-devel to be installed for it to build. For MP3 usage you need to have lame installed. You can also record on it as well, which can be usefull. It may be worth giving it a try. Nigel. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

By the way, isn't pitch control and speed control in this context the same ? You can't play faster than the input stream, because you do not yet know what's in the stream.
