As I said before, it is not so at no one is willing to improve the alsaplayer,but at no one is incorporating the fixes send on the devel-email list in thecode. So my question is the same: If we will keep this player that have such an unique feature on linux, we needa new site for this player, or to incorporate this feature in another player. Ithink at the first solution is easier. Dominique -------------------------------------------------------------------------Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
