Fossa64Basic "Picoplay" audio player

Post by greengeek »

Under development
Testing phase only. Use at own risk

Very lightweight mp3 and wav player for Fossa64Basic.

Pet installs a small gtk gui to allow playing of mp3 and wav files from user selected directory.
(Find picoplay in the multimedia menu)
The pet also installs the mpg321 utility and includes "ao" libs which are a dependency of mpg321.

I haven't seen any other music player this small so I wrote this because I needed something tiny and basic to get my wav/mp3 music directory playing in the background while I used the default Fossa64 basic for a variety of experimental stuff. Just wanted something that worked in the default F64Bas without the size of massive extra libs or ffmpeg (which i love but is too big for something this basic...)

There will probably be bugs!!
I am the worlds worst coder so there will probably be bashisms, zombie generators, and other heinous coding faux pas.

Known Bugs:

- For some reason my mp3 of The WHO "Won't get fooled again" sounds like chipmunks. If I look at "properties" for this file it shows as:
MPEG ADTS, layer III, v2 64kbps, 22.05 kHz
whereas my other mp3s which all play fine show as:
MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1 128kbps, 44.1kHz
(no idea if this is the reason...)

Those couple of downloads of v0.0 - please delete that version and use v0.1 instead. (sorry!)
