Package: debianutils Version: 2.8.4 Severity: wishlist A sensible-audioplayer would be great for playing WAV sounds and the like. I don't know if "sensible-audioplayer" is a good name, but I'm definitely not talking about MP3, Ogg, etc., but a player for simple WAV sounds.
An initial implementation could be the following: ------------------------------------- 8< ------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh PLAYER="" if [ "x" != "x$AUDIOPLAYER" ]; then PLAYER=`which "$AUDIOPLAYER"` elif [ -n "`pidof artsd`" ]; then PLAYER=/usr/bin/artsplay elif [ -n "`pidof esd`" ]; then PLAYER=/usr/bin/esdplay else PLAYER=/usr/bin/play fi if [ -x "$PLAYER" ]; then "$PLAYER" "$@" else echo "Couldn't find any suitable audio player" 1>&2 return 1 fi ------------------------------------- >8 ------------------------------------- For example, PSI (please see Bug#178449) would take advantage of this program. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages debianutils depends on: ii coreutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
