autoconf macros for mad
by Sam Clegg 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

Has anyone thought of adding some autoconf macros (e.g. mad.m4) to libmad so that other packages using it can use aclocal to simply verify the version installed on a given build system? I work on a couple of projects that would find this useful. sam -- sam clegg email: samc(a)superduper.net www : http://www.superduper.net pgp key : http://www.superduper.net/~samc/key.gpg

mad fails to build when gettext is not installed and a make distclean patch
by Sean 'Shaleh' Perry 23 Apr '01

23 Apr '01

So it seems there is some kind of typo happening in the autoconf magic. If gettext is not installed when the make process reaches the po/ directory the build dies because make tries to run 'no'. This appears to be some kind of oops from when configure registered that gettext did not exist. Also, distclean fails to remove the po/*.gmo files as well as the created intl/libintl.h link. This causes the debian build process to fail when it tries to run diff against the original source and the current debianized tree. Enclosed is a patch for this. --- mad-0.13.0b.orig/intl/Makefile.in +++ mad-0.13.0b/intl/Makefile.in @@ -171,7 +171,7 @@ clean: mostlyclean distclean: clean - rm -f Makefile ID TAGS po2msg.sed po2tbl.sed + rm -f Makefile ID TAGS po2msg.sed po2tbl.sed libintl.h maintainer-clean: distclean @echo "This command is intended for maintainers to use;" --- mad-0.13.0b.orig/po/Makefile.in.in +++ mad-0.13.0b/po/Makefile.in.in @@ -192,7 +192,7 @@ clean: mostlyclean distclean: clean - rm -f Makefile Makefile.in POTFILES *.mo *.msg *.cat *.cat.m + rm -f Makefile Makefile.in POTFILES *.gmo *.mo *.msg *.cat *.cat.m maintainer-clean: distclean @echo "This command is intended for maintainers to use;" Oh, and while I am thinking about it (and this is purely cosmetic) why are so many files marked +x in the tree?

TTY controls patch
by Rob Leslie 16 Apr '01

16 Apr '01

Hi folks, Soon after releasing 0.13.0b I decided to hack on TTY controls for `madplay'. The result is here: ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/mpeg/testing/tty-0.13.0b.patch Many thanks go to Matthew Green for his initial implementation of this, although I've taken a slightly different approach. I've not tested this thoroughly which is why I'm making it available as a patch rather than making a new release. I'd appreciate feedback, especially from anyone using the audio_sun module (Solaris and NetBSD, probably.) TTY controls are enabled by default unless stdin is not a terminal or the -o (--output) option is used. You can also enable/disable the controls explicitly with --tty-control or --no-tty-control. The TTY control keys are: p pause s stop (return to beginning of current file) f forward (skip to next file) b backward (*) q quit i information (non-verbose modes only) (*) if pressed within the first 4 seconds of a playing file, skip to the previous file; otherwise replay the current file from the beginning Cheers, -rob

Signals patch
by Rob Leslie 13 Apr '01

13 Apr '01

There is another patch for `madplay' I forgot to mention, contributed by Diomidis Spinellis, which (according to Diomidis) allows you: 1. to specify a list of filenames as an @ argument to madplay (as in mpg123) and 2. control the player with two signals: SIGUSR1 to play the previous song SIGUSR2 to play the next song This patch may conflict with the TTY patch, but here it is nonetheless, modified only to allow clean patching against 0.13.0b: ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/mpeg/contrib/signal-0.13.0b.patch I may incorporate this functionality into a future release. Cheers, -rob

New mp3/madplay frontend (fwd)
by Nicolas Pitre 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Might be of some interest here as well... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2001 23:11:54 -0500 From: Greg Berenfield <gberenfield(a)berenfield.com> To: ipaq(a)handhelds.org Subject: [iPAQ] New mp3/madplay frontend Greetings, This is to announce the release of pyPAQ for the ipaq. pyPAQ is a python/gtk frontend for madplay that has many features with a form factor suited to the ipaq. pyPAQ requires a linux distribution with python, specific python libraries, and also the latest version of madplay + madtime (.12.5b), all of which are available as pre-built binaries on the pyPAQ website. Features include: Playlist support with intuitive file-selection FF/RW slider control ID3 Tag support Built-in mixer (volume/treble/bass) Everything is available at http://ipaq.sytes.net pyPAQ is based on the work of Edward Muller (original pyPAQ, intuitive interface design), and Ulf Betlehem (cplay - ncurses python mp3-frontend) but all bugs are my own. All problem reports, comments, and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Regards, Greg B.
