* Package name : potamus Version : 0.9 Upstream Author : Adam Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://offog.org/code/potamus.html * License : GPL2 Programming Lang: C, GTK Description : extremely lightweight GTK-based audio player Potamus is an extremely lightweight GTK-based audio player with a simple interface and an emphasis on high audio quality. It was written as a reaction to players like Rhythmbox that use a complex database to keep track of a music collection. My preference instead is to make use of the filesystem for sorting music, so Potamus knows nothing about the files it's playing other than their names, and tries to make it as easy as possible to use your file manager to locate and play music. Potamus may be considered to be a successor to GNU xhippo. It is currently in a somewhat unfinished state, but it's complete enough that I now use it as my day-to-day music player. It can decode FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG audio, and any format supported by the ModPlug or audiofile libraries. For MPEG audio playback (including MP3), it uses libmad's high-quality decoder to produce dithered 24-bit output. It can use OSS or ALSA (via libao) for direct output, or can work with JACK, converting sample rates and formats where necessary. It supports 24-bit audio output and gapless playback. It can perform simple operations on channels (sum and difference, phase reversal, single channels). -- Anibal Avelar (FixXxeR) http://fixxxer.cc GPG: 83B64656 - C143 4AD8 B017 53FA B742 D6AA CEEA F9F3 83B6 4656 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
