It seems that your dependencies are a bit old.

Your ffmpeg is old, but I don't think that should do any harm for playback. pMusic benefits of later ffmpeg when it comes to embedding av albumart into the audio file.

Worse is the gtkdialog built from svn. This is not the official 0.8.3 version, but a prebuild. You will meet problems of the very latest gui improvements in pMusic as the export window and the save box....

I have been looking at a possible solution for an improved audio mixer.
Of course, this could look like whatever, but I have some limitations in my approach.
- I don't want to add more graphical bloat than highly required. This solution makes it possible to get rid of the balance-icon.... +1
- I want the Volume/Balance to be clearly separated from the equalizer.
- It would be great if it works with global GTK theme.
- The width should fit into the same size as the playlist for (optional) future docking. This made me narrow the pEqualizer gui a bit. Do you (Mick) find this troublesome?
- There should probably also be a link (button) to hardware settings in the preferences.

You might think that this should have been a part of pEqualizer, but since it has very specific dependencies, we must at least think twice.

Suggestions are very welcome

That pic doesn't look good

Is this the latest alpha of precise?
Does the song continue to play after reaching the end of the bar?
What version of pMusic?
What is the output of

hi sigmund ,

the music still continues to play when the bar gets to the end
this is happening in both precise 5.4.3 and the precise alpha, with both these pmusic versions 3.1.3 & 3.1.5

Ah the "libav" fork. Lots of distros seem to be adopting it. One would think though that Ubuntu has the real ffmpeg in their repositories, but probably not the main ones.

[zigbert]

Has Barry stated that he is moving from ffmpeg to libav?
It sounds like a bad idea without verifying FFConvert, Pavrecord, Precord, pBurn, pdvdrsab and pMusic.

Sigmund,

I may have got this wrong, but in the case of Precise Puppy I think he already has changed from ffmpeg to libav project if he has used the official Ubuntu packages.

Are the official Ubuntu Precise packages of the libav*.so libs not compiled from the source package of libav version 0.8.5? I think they may be. Easy not to realise that they are not compiled from ffmpeg source code because they have all the same names and may even be compatible. All the avconv bins are there (avplay instead of ffplay etc) and the "courtesy" ffmpeg bin.

Development of ffmpeg seems a mess just lately with new major versions with broken backward compatibilty. Some of the apps I like to use now won't compile against newer ffmpegs so I understand why distros are switching to the libav project. Nice that someone is providing stability.

Debian Wheezy looks like it has gone libav project too by the way.
