The second variant will appear in the bugfix release 1.25.7, as I indeed consider it a behaviour fix, while the added option will appear in the next feature release. I suggest that we at least backport the TERM=dumb change to debian.

(mpg123 upstream here) Yes, the terminal support in mpg123 is rather basic. It does not consult any caps database, just hopes that the simple controls it issued are universally understood, which obviously works against your desire regarding the cursor. The reason for switching cursor display off is the display of the progress bar in reverse video. I could possibly improve the behaviour around that. I am not able to work on this for about two weeks ... but will, eventually. I still would very much avoid linking to ncurses or the like for these simple functions, though.

Package: mpg123 Version: 1.23.8-1+b1 Severity: wishlist After upgrading to the version in Stretch, mpg123(1) appears to make the terminal cursor invisible by issuing a ‘civis’ (as in: $ tput civis) control sequence to a tty, which goes against my preferences. Moreover, mpg123(1) does not seem to consult Terminfo for the terminal-specific sequence, probably using a hardcoded one instead – which prevents an obvious workaround from working: $ TERM=dumb mpg123 -- audio.mp3 (Cursor becomes invisible even though Terminfo lists no civis sequence for TERM=dumb, per $ infocmp -- dumb.) The --no-control option has no effect on this behavior, either. A workaround that does work is to pipe mpg123(1) standard output and error devices via cat(1), like: $ mpg123 -- audio.mp3 2>&1 | cat -- FSF associate member #7257 58F8 0F47 53F5 2EB2 F6A5 8916 3013 B6A0 230E 334A ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
