As I said before, it is not so at no one is willing to improve the alsaplayer, but at no one is incorporating the fixes send on the devel-email list in the code. So my question is the same: If we will keep this player that have such an unique feature on linux, we need a new site for this player, or to incorporate this feature in another player. I think at the first solution is easier. Dominique ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
