This version has several small fixes to make playing less susceptible to random skippage when you're doing interrupt intensive things like panning netscape's canvas, as well as SunOS realaudio support (more on that later). Known bugs: a) for the 4231 driver, capture does not work. I don't know if it works for the AMD. b) the DBRI driver does not do anything c) amp seems to have stopped working. mpg123 works as well as or better than before. d) the "streams emulation" may have some bugs yet. I got it working ot my satisfaction 45 minutes ago. The streams code uses several functions from LiS, the Linux Streams implementation available under GPL, and written by Graham Wheeler, Francisco J. Ballesteros and David Grothe, but otherwise is something I hacked up to placate SunOS raplayer 3.0 (the most recent SunOS version) and you can blame me for any bugs. raplayer gotchas: -for me, at least, i need to enter IP addresses; It tries and fails to use NIS, then no DNS. I suspect I don't have my SunOS DNS libc installed on this machine -wants to grab it's colors, or phooey on you. stop netscape or run netscape -install if you want to run this and netscape at the same time, else it's curtains. if it can't get colors, it *WILL* SEGV! -occasionally audio output will stop. usually as little as moving the mouse over raplayer will restart it. i haven't tracked down yet where a SIGPOLL fails to be sent. Enjoy. Where I can I'll be happy to try to answer comments, questions, bugs, etc. A 2.1 version of this code is not far off. -D - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of the message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
