Re: daisy-player support question
Okay, what's going on didn't originally start out with daisy-player. I
have jessie as part of my sources.list along with wheezy. Earlier today
I tried using madplay to play a radio station stream. Madplay responds
that /dev/dsp doesn't exist and aborts. Figuring with the current
system configuration madplay is a useless program, I had debian delete
it and debian also deleted daisy-player along with madplay since
daisy-player depends on madplay. I can put daisy-player back on the
system and make sure sox also gets installed if it is now missing but
would have liked to have had madplay play that radio stream. As things
stand, a recent debian update removed vlc and all of its components so I
was trying different command line alternatives to vlc. The mpg321
program seems to work for the radio stream but I wanted to compare its
output with that of madplay if I could get that working.
