xmms and flac [partially SOLVED]
For a few months I've been struggling with flac files under xmms not being visible.
It seemed that the flac plugin for xmms bundled with flac package was not recognized by xmms.
Today I came across this post: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/flac-de … 04202.html
so I recompiled the flac plugin with the change mentioned above and it works. However It will break again when flac update comes.
What is the proper way of fixing this?
1. Should I inform a flac package mantainer to add this small fix to PKGBUILD (It's just one word to add)?
2. Are we waiting for the flac devs to fix this bug in the sources of flac?

Nope, the patch you linked to was added to the git repo 
.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

Re: xmms and flac [partially SOLVED]
I am completely unable to run ./configure from the source downloaded from git repo. I get "no such file or directory". I have checked that I am able to run configure on other sources and it works fine. Looking for some clues as I am very much in want of the xmms plugin.

The git repo doesn't come with a configure script because that is not hand written. To get one, you usually run "./autogen.sh" or "autoreconf".

Re: xmms and flac [partially SOLVED]
I didn't want to open another thread, but I have problems with flac and xmms.
If I install the package "flac", it adds the module /usr/lib64/xmms/Input/libxmms-flac.so
But xmms does not recognize this library. I had to manually download a rpm (x86_64 for mandrake 2011) and put the library into ~/.xmms/Input .
That works, but I'd like to get the reason why xmms does not recognize the library from the flac package.
Any ideas?
