Subject: future of lamip - questions/requests
Author: verdandi, 2005-08-04 04:33:48
-Is there any estimate for the time until pausing is implemented?
-Will there be a backend daemon that lamip can run on top of like mpd/xmms2?
-An extension to the question, is the ability to run it from an xterm and if your window manager crashes it will still play and you just need to bring up a new frontend(which I think can only be done with a daemon)
-Also, is there any way to externally control lamip? (usage examples: setting up alarms with cron, being able to report the song your listening to in irc)
-An official LAMIP logo? (for menus in window managers and like)
-And an audioscrobbler plugin request
thanks for your time and consideration of what I've asked :)

Hi verdandi !
There are so much things to do and so little time i have..
The last try i did is to play audio files contained in a .gz and .bz2 and... it's seems to work :)
About the daemon. what do you want to do exactly ? i began to code a control plugin that act as a daemon but it need a protocol to communicate via socket. For moment it's just listening from a socket and show on the standard output (the xterm) messages that it received. I could try to emulate the xmms2 daemon or the beep socket (by introducing some code from theses sofwares). so client of theses software could be used...depend of what users wants :)
Is pausing is really needed ? i could try to code it if it's really urgent. (for me it's not).
To act as a daemon i think there is something to render a program dependent to init instaed of the window manager session. I don't remember how to do it but it's possible to do it as user. If you found it how to do it ion 'c' maybe i could include it in the control daemon that i'm actually working on.
I also do an entry for e17 if you want :) let me upload it in the testing directory.
About the ape plugin as it's not me that i wrote it best is to ask directly to the author (normally it's written in the AUTHORS file).

Oh yes, pausing is needed!
And is there any work on the foobar control?
