hi nenolod, thank you for your interest. I would like to clarify that canonical changed its "ubuntu sound menu" specs in the latest release of ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#For%20Natty) so that upstream projects are *not* required anymore to do anything special for ubuntu. I personally think this was the right choice.
what we are asking (see bug #681994) is just to make audacious support the latest major revision of the standard Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification (MPRIS) specification. this common dbus interface for media players, not related to canonical, is supported by freedesktop.org (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mpris-interfacing- specification) and is used by different projects in many distributions (for example: mpris-remote, ruby-mpris). I spent some months on #audacious irc channel trying to implement this by myself and made some patches, but I finally gave up because I did not find enough help to do this with my very limited skills. ** Summary changed: - Audacious does not appear in the sound menu + [Maverick] Audacious does not appear in the sound menu in Ubuntu 10.10 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658001 Title: [Maverick] Audacious does not appear in the sound menu in Ubuntu 10.10 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
