Comment 1 Adrian 2004-07-13 13:31:24 UTC
Yes, I want to see alsa support in amaroK. Some people don't like arts, unfortunately it's big and slow ;/

It would be great if you added support for alsa :]
Comment 2 Mark Kretschmann 2004-07-13 13:39:33 UTC
Alsa support _is_ already in amaroK 1.0. Use GStreamer and choose "alsasink" for output.
Comment 3 Adrian 2004-07-13 14:54:53 UTC
Uhm, but it reuires plugins for gstreamer that have in dependencies 9/10 gnome... I don't have even gtk...

Please make 'normal' alsa plugin.

Nonsense. Check your facts before posting.

No gtk required.

This is a very frequently asked question (see the FAQ) and everyone who asks it has one major misunderstanding: If you pipe an MP3 to ALSA _all_ you will get is white noise.

You want the MP3 to be decoded too? That's why we recommend GStreamer. All it does is decode the MP3 and pipe it to ALSA. If this offends you because you need some GNOME dependencies then you can use the xine-engine that will be available in the next release.

Incidently I also find the gtk dependence a little crazy.
Comment 7 Adrian 2004-08-17 14:38:00 UTC
Hmm, so how does alsa plugin for xmms work? It have to be doable if xmms developers have done it.
Comment 8 Max Howell 2004-08-20 00:26:33 UTC
XMMS has it's own decoding framework that is exactly like GStreamer but many times less flexible or powerful. XMMS has two advantages over GStreamer currently; maturity, and interesting interim plugins - not efficiency or stability.
