Cool! You noted that you considered 0.12.0a `alpha' quality - is 0.12.2b considered stable? I haven't updated the NetBSD package from mad-0.11.4b because of your previous comments.
Nobody has complained about the many changes in 0.12.0a, so I assume 0.12.2b can now be considered stable. :-)
Having said that, please let me know if you discover any problems.
The only feature of mpg123 that I miss is interactive keyboard controls (stop, pause, next/prev song, fast forward/backward, etc) - if noone is looking into this then I might...
I received a note earlier this month from matthew green mrg@eterna.com.au who was also considering this; you might check with him to see if he's made any progress. I'll also forward you the email I sent him.
I think this would probably make a nice addition.
P.S. Thanks to Simon Burge, Thomas Klausner and others for nominating MAD (madplay) for NetBSD's October Package of the Month!
Thanks! We have an internal NetBSD irc/icb channel, and you'd be happy to hear the number of positive things said about MAD - there's even been mention of trying to persuade you to do an encoder :-). Thank _you_ for such wonderful software.
I've thought about an encoder once or twice... there is actually a need of sorts for a real-time encoder to run on the same types of hardware that a fixed-point decoder can.
It probably won't happen very soon.
