Description ieure 2003-02-10 11:00:28 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
OS:          Linux

I greatly desire the ability to play FLAC files in noatun; I have recently archived every CD I own to FLAC[1], and I dislike using XMMS to play them.

I have no experience programming with KDE, and a very small amount of C++ experience. However, if given some pointers, I'd try to implement this functionality on my own.

another useful thing would be a audiocd FLAC plugin for ripping to flac
Comment 2 thebeast 2003-08-14 02:19:35 UTC
I think FLAC support would greatly add to noatuns and KDEs set of features.

If you look at www.hydrogenaudio.org their forum has FLAC on top in a recent
poll about lossless prefered method...
Comment 3 Allan Sandfeld 2003-10-13 18:07:14 UTC
FLAC playback is now provided by the xine_plugin in kdemultimedia.  
  
 A seperate plugin can be found in kdenonbeta/flac_plugin, where a  
kfile-plugin is also present.  
  
Audiocd-support is not yet finished, but not part of the original wishitem. 
 
Now how exactly do I close bugs?

I'm still not able to play FLAC files with Noatun (kdemultimedia-3.2.0-1.3), or with artsplay (arts-1.2.0-1.5). Both play ogg files fine; other players (AlsaPlayer, XMMS) play FLAC files.

I'm using RPM packages from Fedora Devel.

Is it necessary to activate some plugin?
Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2004-03-03 16:08:52 UTC
FYI, the packages provided by RedHat do not include flac support.  The ones from 
http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ 
do.
