I want to help with translation. How do I do that?
Please use Transifex here
Don't submit PO files directly to me.
In the past, LXDE project was doing translation, but not anymore. Please use our own Transifex.

You need to make GDB backtrace.
After upgrading Deadbeef to v0.5.0, some files (esp. 192KHz, or 96KHz/5.1) aren't playing anymore, while they played fine in 0.4.4. How do I fix that?
short answer:
upgrade to deadbeef-0.5.1, make sure that SRC (resampler) plugin has been built, then quit the player, and delete the file ~/.config/deadbeef/dspconfig.
after player restart, it will auto-configure itself to emulate 0.4.4 behaviour.
long answer:
by default, version 0.5 uses resampler provided by ALSA (or PulseAudio, or OSS - depending on chosen output plugin), and ALSA is not always capable to resample. and, in some cases, ALSA resampling cannot be used at all, depending on which output device is selected in Preferences.
version 0.4.4 (and below) resampled output using libsamplerate by default, without using ALSA resampling -- that's why it always worked.
To use libsamplerate resampling, go to Edit -> Preferences -> DSP, add Resampler plugin, and configure it to any samplerate that your output supports.
SRC plugin from 0.5.1 can automatically configure samplerate to match output plugin.

- [<insert your favorite feature>? And when?==
In most cases - yes, I can. But that doesn't mean I ever will, and I won't give any promises.
When will <the new release> appear on Ubuntu PPA?
I've no idea when (and if) it will be available on PPA. I'm not using (and not planning to use) Ubuntu, and i don't have time to make builds for every distribution -- that's why i'm providing the universal builds that work on all Linux distributions, including Ubuntu.
