seems it is gone too. Too bad. It was nice - could play mp3 forward AND
backward...
It hasn't been supported for a long time. That said there is a new
maintainer who just took it over last week so don't give up totally on
alsaplayer. It was good for its day.
Again, I mentioned this before, but if your interest is file based
playback - no CDs - no streaming media - then there is hardly anything
better than Aqualung. It's in the proaudio overlay - both the release
versions and a CVS ebuild also.
