Yes, I understand that and I know about multiverse in ubuntu. But debian lists that package in the free repository. I went through the license. Seems to be ok.
I'm trying to do a streaming (.pls, .m3u, etc) using the online radio stations. So gecko + mplayer is the only thing that works easily and perfectly. I pulled out gecko from debian-squeeze. Is there any alternative software in Trisquel-Slaine?
