Not true if you apply the debian patches.

Same answer I guess.

So, you want support it, but maybe at other will if it was a working websitefor this program.

> And if you play slower, you need ever growing input buffer.> Same answer. And I have 1GB ram memory. BTW, some hardware CD audio player havesuch a function, and they have a very limited amount of memory inside theirchips. And for what I know, the only difference between hardware and softwareprogramming is at one is done inside the silicium when the other not.

I don't even knowwhat are the needed dependencies. So for me that is not a programmer, it is aprogram only for programmers, and I will not waste my time with it.
