[»] Alsaplayer breaths quality.
by pheldens - Jan 15th 2003 12:15:15

The only thing lacking now is propper no nonsense playlist management/handling this would make it much more popular and usable. ( things like recursive adding of directory's containing media etc. are a must imo)
The pitch controll is really impressive though !

Agreed. The ability to edit your play list in real time would be nice too.
