I think you will like it. It is Alsa compatible, but I don't remember
what I had to tweak to make it work. When I mention scripting I wasn't
kidding. I actually use it as my gradual alarm clock in the morning via
crontab. It takes about two minutes to get going and wakes me up gradually.
#!/bin/sh
{
mpcadd grieg
mpc play
for ((i = 0; $i < 100; i=$i + 1));
do
mpc volume $i;
sleep 1;
done
} > /dev/null
#end#
where mpcadd is another script I wrote that makes adding files easier.
#!/bin/bash
mpc search filename $1 | mpc add
mpc play
#end#
I believe that the MPD port can be configured so that mpd clients can
connect directly within a network. I do know that most of the gui
clients are horrible. I wouldn't recommend gmpc being particularly bad
compared to the slick gkrellm and command line.
Have fun. Let us know what you end up using.
Oh, and so you don't have to search
the homepage is http://www.musicpd.org it has both the server and links
to clients, but you should find most among different distributions
repositories anyways.
