This Deadbeef 0.5.1 is the latest static build from the developers. I kind of like these static builds because 1) they are the latest and 2) they are prepared by the developers who are less likely to leave anything out, I left the locales in since they were small potatoes.

This one will play wma without the change I explained in the 0.4.4 thread (I think).

If there is older Deadbeef installed, it needs to be removed or at least /usr/lib/deadbeef needs to be removed, otherwise there will be problems from the older libs remains. I learned that hard way.

pemasu, any chance to have a super-stripped down version as 0.4.4 that was only 236K compared to this static 5M pet?

Of course as stripped down version wma support would not be required,,,

I dont want to hijack this thread because full Deadbeef is very capable audio player.
But, yes...I can try to make previous kind super stripped version also.

Thanks for the .pet, Playdayz!

Trying it out on Three-Headed Dog now, and it works great - it even plays audio in the APE format! I'm very happy to finally have functioning sound - I have a card with the Creative CA0110-IBG chip - The Auzentech X-Fi Bravura, which gained support in ALSA about 10 months ago.

Great work on Three-Headed Dog and DeadBeef, Playdayz

Sorry. I have tried. Iguleder has tried. I just cant get around the libiconv dependency. Scottman has managed to do it with hacking the source code, but I wasnt succesfull when I tried to follow his advices.
Maybe with next version. I have abandoned 0.5.1 with most of my puplets, so has Iguleder. We use still the older version.

No use to hit your head to the brickwall.

I do a lot of listening to radio streams and have to say that DeaDBeef is quite a nice little audio player. GUI layout and functions are similar to Foobar 2000 which is my favourite when I am forced to go on smelly old Windows.

Latest version is 0.5.5 which has a lot of fixes. I have installed it in Slacko 5.3.3. and it plays all the main stream formats. Graphic equaliser works nicely.

Perhaps someone more experienced than me would consider producing a .pet?
