Looks possible I'll be credited for testing some code to enable SteelSeries SRW-S1 racing wheels in future Linux kernels - and now I find you've kindly written something for me. And it works. > Go to: http://sed.free.fr/audiotag > There is a screenshot too. > > It's not finished, but tell me: > 1 - does it work (compile, run)? Yes. No complaints, but I already have libsndfile and co, so all dependencies were met. Plot produced an output channel in qjackctl and it plays. > 2 - do you like it? Instantly.

Lower view area to track play, although the way I can just move up to the upper section and quickly get the play head in view again - is fine really. I'm quite surprised there's so much detail from the chunk file. It's just enough for the entire file view, but a little more would be good in the lower section. Or maybe closer inspection of an area could be a secondary feature. Perhaps only when 'superzoom' is engaged a more detailed visualisation is derived from the area around the current play head position. Reduce did one of my 1.3GB files in about 3 seconds with a resulting size of about 1.3MB. > See README included for instructions. They are very clear. Thank you. I don't see any high CPU while playing. Far from it in fact, compared to similar display in Wine, although I think that may have been more to do with how Wine does sound... 23% kwin and 14% Xorg if I drag plot's window around my desktop frantically while playing (as a reference point). 6% and 4% respectively playing normally. Xorg drops to 5% when plot is stopped. (i5 CPU). All by 'top' so not accurate. > The thing uses Jack for audio output.

All my files are 48k so Jack is set for that. > Audio file is accessed via libsndfile. Famous names really. So many fine libs... > GUI is simple X window. Everything is there. Status bar area info is good and resize-ability isn't essential, although, if possible a scale option for the whole main window is a must for a generally available fixed size program window. It's all too small for squintless operation (for me) as is. My 'monitor' is a 32" Tv at 1920x1080 at 96dpi (forced). > And it's not finished, so expect issues. > (One big fear I have is how the thing works > on a 32b computer...

Thanks a million for this Cédric, and I hope you can find the time to carry on with it a bit. I think it could develop into something which very many people could find useful. With both output channels working I'm sure it'll be my default wav player...
