[xine-devel] xine_mrl_reference_data_t and "alternative"

[James S. <jst...@us...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to fix the reading of ram files containing multiple
references, but 
am a bit confused by the alternative field. xine.h says:

* alternative playlists may be provided and should be used in case of
* failure of the primary playlist.
*/
typedef struct {
  int                 alternative; /* alternative playlist number,
  usually 0

I took that to mean that if you want to add multiple things to the
playlist, 
you just send off multiple events, each with the same alternative number. 
However, xine-ui only adds an additional entry to the playlist if
alternative 
has a value greater than 0. If it is 0 then each subsequent item just 
replaces the current one.

So my question is, is xine-ui at fault here or am I misunderstanding the 
header?

Thanks,
James.
