What append with the alsaplayer? It is a really nice little player with some unique feature such its speed control. Gentoo have removed it from portage because, according to gentoo's devs, it is no maintained upstream. If I look on alsaplayer email list, a debian's dev send a few patch to correct some security bugs. Those patches work very well and they have not even been incorporated in the cvs or in a bugs correction release. It will be really sad if such a player will disappear. I don't care of the look of a program so long at it do the work. And it is the only one that have a speed control. I done an alsaplayer-mixer for fvwm with the capability to change the pitch by a value of a comma around the normal speed, and by halve notes after. I don't understand why this project is dead. The old gtk1 release with the debian patches compile just fine even on gcc-4.1.1. The cvs version fail to compile in my box (gentoo), but it seam to be a gtk2 problem, not an internal API problem. The fix in the case of the gtk1 release is to incorporate the debian patches. In the case of the cvs version and its gtk2 interface, some programmers have to look in the code. So, it is 2 problems. 1) It is no maintainer for the gtk1 release. It is very sad because it is not a full time job at all. 2) More work is needed for the gtk2 release. I personally don't care about it if it is no new features with it beside the look but, and it is a big but, I think at on the long run, a gtk2 interface is a must have in order to archive the succes of this program.
