Description: avi player interface (integrates with xmms) Depends on: libavifile 0.5x (!!! 0.6x is incompatible!!!, libavifile 0.6x is currently bundeled with debian unstable, this needs to be "downgraded", 0.6x isn't an "upgrade", it's a rewrite without backwards compability and not many applications support this new API. Honestly I haven't seen a single one yet, all use the 0.5x API)
Available from: www.xmms.org (-> plugins -> input) Reason: It's the best avi player interface available for unix. I've read discussion about avi-xmms and that it should _NOT_ be included since it depends on non-open (and they used the work illegal too, but remember that you are innocent until other proven) binary .dll files, though I think the whole argument fail since avi-xmms doesn't really depend on these files, it depends on libavifile ... and yes... libavifile depens on these binaries (but that could be changed, so avi-xmms does NOT depend on these binaries). Even if you think it does, libavifile also does, and thats included in the distribution (without the binaries) ... so... unless I see a good explanation, I'd like to see one of the most downloaded linux apps available in the next debian release! //Andreas Henriksson
