RFS: splay -- Sound player for MPEG-1,2 layer 1,2,3

[John Hedges <john@drystone.co.uk>]

Hi

I'd like to adopt splay, a command line mp3 player. I've updated the bug
report (#246971) to reflect ITA but have a couple of questions before
uploading.

 - Most importantly, is there anyone out there willing to sponsor me?  A
   quick glance at popcon reveals that splay is installed on about 1:20
   debian systems so I suspect I am not the only remaining user :)

 - A couple of the outstanding bugs are architecture dependent
   (amd64/powerPC). I'm happy to try to fix these bugs but need access
   to suitable machines - is there any way this can be arranged (other
   than nipping down to PCs-R-U$ and spending lots of cash)?

 - I'm not sure about the upstream. I've mailed the current upstream
   maintainer but have not had a reply. How much of a problem is it if
   there is no longer an upstream for this package? 
   
 - What is the best debian mailing list for audio/multimedia related
   development?

TIA

John
