Hi! I wanted to report this bug separatly for alsaplayer-gtk, but than I noticed same report for alsaplayer-text, so adding more info to this bug and not creating duplicate... Request is simple: please add nametemplate entries to mailcap file for alsaplayer-(gtk|text). Reason: alsaplayer seems to only use filename extension to detect file type. It does not play file in supported format, if it has incorrect or no extension. Problem can occur, when you open/play file using run-mailcap script (e.g. from mc). If filename contains dangerous characters (e.g. "'"), run-mailcap creates randomly-named symlink in /tmp pointing to original file and uses that link as argument for started viewer/editor. Since such symlink has no extension, alsaplayer refuses to play it. If nametemplate is provided in mailcap file, run-mailcap will add specified extension to created symlink, which makes alsaplayer happy ;). Attached updated mailcap file for alsaplayer-gtk. Same changes can be applied for alsaplayer-text. th. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=sk_SK, LC_CTYPE=sk_SK (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages alsaplayer-gtk depends on: ii alsaplayer-common 0.99.76-0.3 PCM player designed for ALSA (comm ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libglib1.2 1.2.10-9 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-17 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Input extension li ii xlibmesa-gl [libgl1] 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu -- no debconf information
