About AlsaPlayer 0.99.81

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. The core code was written by Andy Lo-A-Foe with contributions from many other folks. See the credits files for details.<br /><br />Features<br /><br />Some of the more interesting features in AlsaPlayer are<br /><br /> Full speed (pitch) control, positive *and* negative!<br /> This is the first Linux and only GPL player that supports this. You can scratch mp3's and even audio CD's in realtime.<br /> Icecast/shoutcast streaming support<br /> Interface plugins<br /> Completely redefine the user interface<br /> Remote control<br /> Control alsaplayer from another application<br /> Low latency mode<br /> On capable soundcards latency can be as low as 1.3ms!<br /> Playlist/Queue support<br /> Plays nice with concurrent audio tools<br /> Doesn't touch the hardware mixer<br /> Concurrent visual scopes<br /> Open as many scopes as there are.<br /> Multi-threaded design<br /> This results in efficient/skip free playback. You can also activate real-time scheduling for even better performance.<br /> Accurate scope/audio syncing<br /> Portable
