Is there is a wiki page for this? Just at a glance, here is what I see. I've pasted the package descriptions for what I suspect are the most obscure ones. You can probably track down the developers of these on the Hydrogen Audio forums. Rarewares is the repository associated with that community. repositories I'm looking at: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ sid main deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ experimental main deb http://www.rarewares.org/debian/packages/unstable/ ./ deb http://www.rarewares.org/debian/packages/experimental/ ./ Input plugins: xmms-bonk xmms-dtsc xmms-dvb Package: xmms-dvb Version: 0.4.0-1 Architecture: i386 Maintainer: mike gan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Installed-Size: 72 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0), libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-4), libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxext6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), libxi6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), xmms, xmms (>= 1.2.10-1), liblame0 (>= 3.89-1) Filename: ./xmms-dvb_0.4.0-1_i386.deb Size: 25100 MD5sum: ddeb8abc2f6c2fa59532590616a64b5d Section: sound Priority: optional Description: direct dvb playback for xmms enables XMMS to directly play MPEG-1 Layer II audio streams received by a DVB-S PCI-Adapter compatible with the driver available from http://www.linuxtv.org/ xmms-la (lossless audio) xmms-mac (monkey's audio) xmms-musepack-sv8 (frequent sv8 SVN snapshots are available on rarewares.

It's still used a lot in the legal bootleg / etree community. I'm not aware of anything other than xmms that supports it without using ffmpeg. If xmms goes away deadhead linux users, which I suspect is a fair sized population, will riot. A lot of people have thousands or hours of hours of audio in .shn files. In some cases there are plugins which provide similar functionality but are not the same. There's just libmad and no libmpeg123. People have had ten years now to convince themselves they can hear the difference and xmms remains the media player of choie for adiophilles. Between arts in KDE and the gnome HIG, there hasn't been a lot in recent years to convince audio geeks they should use anything else. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
