About:
AlsaPlayer is a new PCM player written with the ALSA sound system in mind. It also includes support for JACK, OSS, NAS, and ESD. It makes extensive use of multi-threading and supports OGG, MP3, WAV, CDDA (CD Digital Audio), MOD, S3M, IT, and many other input types. Features include a real- time effects stream, variable speed/pitch control, SHOUTcast/icecast streaming support, multiple active visual scopes, command line mode, playlists, plugin architecture, low-latency mode, and more.

Release focus: N/A

Changes:
Fixes were made to the "work in progress" GTK2 interface to get it to compile. A new man page from Debian was added. Fixes were made in the GTK interface, the ALSA output plugin, the CDDA (CDROM) input plugin, the text interface, the flac and audiofile input plugins, and the jack output. The duration in the display is now correct when playing mono files. Important security fixes were also done.

[»] 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.
