Hi again,

The current status of the proyect is this. We have 2 packages under=20
development.

=2D - libcdg123 is, as you now, the CD+G decoding library. I've just finish=
ed=20
implementing the last commands just a few minutes ago, so, at least in CD+G=
=20
terms, is complete. I still don't know if it should contain CD+G decoding=20
stuff STRICTLY or if there could be more functionallity that fits on it (li=
ke=20
functions for detecting if a CD reader is able of reading CD+Gs, subchannel=
=20
extraction, etc). Comments on this, please.

=2D - libxmms_cdg123 is a CD+G playing plugin for xmms. It mostly works, al=
though=20
there are some problems with audio/video sync. It's based on SDL. I did it=
=20
mostly to have a way of testing the lib without writting the whole audio=20
stuff. I'll keep it on the sourceforge site, but I don't have a lot of=20
interest on it. If someone wants to take it, just tell me. It would be ok=20
with some config dialog, full screen support and good audio sync.


The next package is wants to be the most complete and proffessional CD+G=20
playing suite out there. It should have, in no particular order:

=2D - Support for databases, for managing large lists. Also must be able to=
 work=20
standalone.
=2D - Support for audio/subchannel CD extraction, so you can use it to crea=
te the=20
CD+G pool.
=2D - Support for CDDB, for the ripped CDs.
=2D - Support for OGG/MP3 compression, for the storing of the CD+G pools.
=2D - Obviously, support for CD+G/MP3+G/OGG+G playing :)
=2D - Support for splash screens between songs (so you can put a sequence s=
aying=20
"And now JOE will sing STARDUST in 15... 14... 13...".
