At this point it is useless to go on with this thread, IMO. The EULA isn't
changing, which is a no-go alone, and now that they're dropping official Linux
support, updates and bug fixes are going to be few and far between (if at all).
I'm not going to spend my time reverse engineering their builds every release
only to find out the software has issues on Linux... which we've seen it
already does.

Sorry to say it, but they've had a good run and there's no need to beat a dead
horse. Almost two years on this bug thread, not bad! :)

There's talk that some of the developers might fork and continue to release a
parallel player called "Lyrebird" or "Freebird" that keeps closer to the base
Linux player tradition. If that happens I'll open a second bug ticket and start
there as a new project based off of this one.

Can someone with privs please close this ticket? I see no need to continue it.

Thanks to everyone who helped along the way.
