AlsaPlayer is a new type of PCM player. It is heavily multi-threaded and tries to excercise the ALSA library and driver quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix players. The goal is to create a fully pluggable framework for playback of all sorts of media with the focus on PCM audio data.

1 commentdumped make files and subdirectories all over my home directory
I'm new to linux, so I don't know if this was my fault. Steps I took: 1.I ran configure with my regular login id, from a directory I created specifically for this install, which seemed to work. 2.I tried running 'make install' with my regular login id. It received a number of errors trying to copy file(s) to the usr/local/bin/ so I figured I'd need to run this under su. 3.From su I ran 'make install', which seemed to run just fine. 4.I tried to run alsaplayer from usr/local/bin/ by mouse clicking on it; no program seemed to start. I then dragged and dropped a mp3 onto it; the mp3 was played repeatedly and repeatedly and..., I couldn't see/find alsaplayer on the desktop or the task bar. I finally issued 'killall -9 alsaplayer' to stop it because I couldn't stand the song anymore ;) I went looking in my home directory to see if I could find a config file or something. I found that the compiling/making of alsaplayer dumped numerous directories with a make file in them all over my home directory! Why? Why did it not create these directories under the directory I created for the building of the alsaplayer? I try to keep my directories clean and don't appreciate having to try to figure out which directories/files I can delete or move to clean things up. If this was caused by my ignorance, maybe you can make this process a little more bullet proof, so we newbies don't shoot ourselves in the foot. Oh yeah, this was for v0.99.75. Thanks.
