#12 --status: no information whether a file is playing or not.

[Anonymous]

alsaplayer --status does not output whether there is
currently a file playing or not. Especially if the
playlist has exactly one item, there is no way to find
out whether the file has played completely or not.

To be fixed by adding a play/pause/stop indicator.

Works for me.

When the file is playing:
$ alsaplayer --status
---------------- Session ----------------
name: alsaplayer-0
playlist_length: 1
volume: 1,00
speed: 100%
-------------- Current Track ------------
title: vencerem.mid
frames: 1356
length: 62 seconds
position: 28
-----------------------------------------

When the file in not playing:
$ alsaplayer --status
---------------- Session ----------------
name: alsaplayer-0
playlist_length: 1
volume: 1,00
speed: 100%
-------------- Current Track ------------
title: vencerem.mid
frames: 1356
length: 62 seconds
position: 0
-----------------------------------------

The position is 0 when the sound ended, so obviously 0 mean stop.

But it is no play/pause/stop indicator and no mean to know if a sound is playing or paused.

Or you have to issue at least 2 status command and look if the position is changing. Yes -> playing; no -> paused.
