Thanks for the tip; I ran through the man page quickly but apparently missed that valuable section. Sounds like winamp to me:) -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Stivers [mailto:stivers_t@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 6:26 AM To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: Multi Media Programs You can gett some of the functionality you want from mpg123. Using the --control command line option lets you use f to go forward, b to go back, "," to rewind, "." to fastforward, q to quit, s to stop, and p to pause. It also has a --shuffle and --random option. If you read the mpg123 man page you can see that it does a lot. For all your other stuff you will need to check out alsa. I am still trying to get alsa working here, so I can't help you too much with it. Good luck.
