[SlimDevices: Plugins] Alien and w32codecs

2007-10-17 Thread Fletch

Many of the sites with alien installation instructions mention
installing additional codecs.  Is that really necessary?  A quick test
suggests that I can play all common formats (wma, real, etc) with just
the native mplayer codecs and additional w32 codecs are not needed. 
Are there really any internet radio sources out there that would need
additional binary codecs?  Note that I am on linux and am interested in
general internet radio compatibility, not just bbc.

The additional codecs are not needed for BBC with mplayer 1.0pre8 or
later.

You might need codecs for some smaller stations using old version of
RealAudio.
