Looks good, but... I'm thinking of Mac OS X, which has a feature where
you can select a media file and press the space bar to preview it in a
pop-out window. I have this sort of functionality in mind: a clickable
"seek bar" with times, and buttons for rewind, play/pause, and
forward. Nothing beyond that.
If I'm going to get this, I'll probably have to write a new
application myself at some point, or change an existing one.
AlsaPlayer and Audacious just have too many features to use as I have
in mind.
On the other hand,
A) not everybody wants to do what I want to do, and
B) we need an audio player now, so AlsaPlayer looks like a good choice.
Is anybody else interested in making an audio file player with JACK
support that has basically no features, opens and starts playing in an
instant, and can be easily (for users) integrated into a file browser?
I suspect it would not be tremendously difficult to write a new
interface to AlsaPlayer which would do what you describe.
