You could try to bind your multimedia keys to call "audtool" via your WM.

Okay, unmerging Audacious and all its system-wide configuration is done via To delete your user configuration, use Hope this helps!

I think you would be going fine with Audacity. Is easy, can trim and is well-supported.

It could be, depending on which version you are using.

However, Audacious 1.5 should be released soon, so you may try that, if you want.

[EDIT]
Wow, apparently it has been released already.

jemrpo, compile audacious-plugins with either alsa or oss USE flags. Also check the other USE flags if you could need some. Good luck!

(If you need help, just ask here.)

Probably your device is supported, but to be sure, you could search around a bit if you find some comments about it.

Anyway, the biggest problem you probably will have to face is latency. Try to minimise it at any cost, otherwise you won't be able to hear the computer output in realtime. Note: This ...

This should be a WM issue. I would like to help you, but I only have FVWM, so ...

Well, I'm really sorry I don't know a real GUI for that task, but I would suggest mplayer's mencoder (command line) anyway because I'm quite sure you can get more out of this than with any GUI. The usage is totally straightforward too, so you will easily be able to handle it. For example, if you ...

VLC? mplayer?

[EDIT]
Wait, you mean for encoding or playing? ...

Okay, I think that those bugs are probably fixed in SVN. If you are brave enough, use the following script to try it. It only creates a directory "audacious" in your home directory and does not need root rights or anything, but you need to have "mercurial" installed before.

Try to use the latest "unstable" audacious/audacious-plugins versions, the WAV problem was fixed recently.

You should be able to do that with audtool.

I cannot say thanks here, because the Gentoo developers made such a good distro I can't switch to any other one without becoming "homesick".

Seriously, thanks a lot to all people involved because I've never found a better operating system with a better community.

Okay, thanks for your answers. I have completely forgotten about the LiveCD, now if that one would only be updated more often to solve the problem old school did mention ...

But well, 2008.0 should come sooner or later ...

Just recently I reinstalled my system from a 2007.0 CD and forgot to link /etc/make.profile to the desktop profile, which meant lots of reinstalling with correct USE flags necessary for me - that was when I thought: Why doesn't Gentoo have an own desktop stage tarball?

A desktop stage could have ...

rm -r ~/.vlc ?
emerge vlc -pv ?

Do you use funny USE flags or something like that? Have you checked your RAM?

Try aoss <oss_program> to make the program use ALSA output, which allows multiple sounds at the same time.

aoss is contained in the alsa-oss package btw.

Most of you will agree that the problem with Gentoo is the perceived lack of progress ! Many people posted about
- the GWN that is not a WN anymore at all,
- the never-changing layout on the Gentoo.org frontpage,
- the non-existance of a release greater that 2007.0 etc.

Things have somehow stopped ...

gr0x0rd: I'm sorry I haven't been clear, the libxml2 messing would only help for the first problem, not for the second one.


To solve problem no. 2:
- Do you run a recent (hopefully non ~x86/~amd64) system?
- Do you use special optimization flags (if unsure, please post output of "emerge --info ...

Buy a 5G iPod (iPod Video) off eBay, put on Rockbox. It's the only player that will actually hold my ~45GB of music.

LOL

Is there another player that can hold and play 45 gigs of Vorbis?

Well, I just don't understand how 45 GB of music fit on a 5GB player. :wink:
(unless you convert your ...

Just for future reference: If you have to use mplayer for DVD playback once and want to watch the movie in your native language, use "mplayer dvd://1 -alang en" (for English playback). If you need subtitles, use e.g. "mplayer dvd://1 -alang en -slang de".

Have any of you gotten USB trnasfers to work with rockbox and a e200?
Looks like it does not work yet

It does *not* work within Rockbox itself, but you just have to power off the player and plug in the USB cable, then the original firmware starts automatically and you can transfer your stuff ...

Is there anything in ~/.config/audacious/log?
Did you run revdep-rebuild recently?
Which versions of audacious and audacious-plugins do you use? If they are not recent, upgrade!
