Hi all,
Does anybody else use alsaplayer ( http://archlinux.org/packages/alsaplayer ) still? I liked it as a simple graphical audio player in which I could play around with the song speed if I felt like it, but I can't get the new version 0.99.80 to work in graphical mode, and I think it has to do with gtk versions.
The www.alsaplayer.org website has a comment on the main page
July 12 2007
AlsaPlayer 0.99.80-rc2 is out. [...]
The GTK1 interface get broken in the process and is removed from the package.
and I don't see anything about gtk1 support having been reintroduced.
I see that the arch package still depends on plain gtk though (I do have gtk2 installed anyway).
When I try (inspired by alsaplayer --help)
alsaplayer -i gtk, alsaplayer -i gtk1 or alsaplayer -i gtk2
in console, I get
Failed to load interface gtk (or gtk1, or gtk2)
Does anybody else have this problem? Could it be a problem with the package/gtk or did I miss a setting?
Thanks in advance for any hints,
Regards,

Hallo Neje,
same problem here. Alsaplayer doesn't want to load in GUI-mode. I got the same command line error.
I checked the PKGBUILD in ABS and I these are the configure options:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-esd \
--disable-opengl --enable-gtk --enable-jack \
--disable-gtk2 --enable-audiofile
as You see there is --enable-gtk and --disable-gtk2, I think it should become --disable-gtk and enable-gtk2 as alsaplayer is has now a GTK2 interface (they made the switch with the last version).
I will try it for You!

OK, i got it to work as normal. GTK2 mode can load but I can not play.
In the PKGBUILD I putted --enable-gtk1 and --enable-gtk2 and --enable-opengl, with these it works; If You now start alsaplayer (as regular) you got the gtk1 interface. With "alsaplayer -i gtk2" You got the GTK2 interface (You can see it but that's all...)

Hi Roel,
Thanks for the confirmation that it's a gtk thing indeed, and thanks a lot for the hints.
Apparently, now is a good time for me to finally try ABS...

Hi again,
It works! ABS was easier than I thought it was going to be.
I installed ABS and in the PKGBUILD, I changed the gtk dependency to gtk2 (probably pointless), changed --enable-gtk to --disable-gtk and --disable-gtk2 to --enable-gtk2 and it works already (I didn't touch the other options like opengl yet because I wanted to try one thing at a time).
The main difference with the old version is that it doesn't play on start by default anymore ;-) but that was soon fixed by editing ~/.alsaplayer/config
Thanks for the pointers!
