Hi,

xmms is the last software left where I have to read hebrew backwards.
I'm waiting for the gtk2 port for quite a long time and it won't go out,
but apparently I'm not alone. Beep Media Player (BMP in short) is a fork
from the xmms tree which already implements gtk2, and works pretty fine
(with few bugs still, it's a beta).

However.. I still cannot see my hebrew songs well: because now with
gtk2/pango, it expects filenames/id3 in the unicode format, which I
don't use (I assume most of us don't). I want to suggest the BMP team to
add an option 'no unicode filenames'. I just don't know gtk2/pango too
well and I'm not sure whether that's exactly what they should add in
order to make us happy.. I assume they just have to use some
iso8859-8->utf-8 converting function (because if we want pango to render
it fine, with bidi, it should convert the non-unicode text to unicode).

Anybody has something smart to say?
