[vdr] MP3/Mplayer extention 0.32 available



Hi all,
a new release of my MP3/MPlayer extention is available for
download from my homepage. It includes minor feature updates and
supports the new driver samplerates, too.

But be warned, to use the new samplerates a driver dated
2.1.2002 or newer is required. Using the new samplerates should
give better quality and less cpu load (no resampling needed in
most cases). By now, the driver supports samplerates of 96, 48,
44.1 and 32 kHz for replay.

If you wants to use this release with an older driver, you must
add "ONLY48KHZ=1" to the make commandline. Otherwise the audio
will be played at the wrong speed.

News in detail:

20.01.2002 - Version 0.32 (vdr 0.99pre1)
-Now ignoring CRC errors while decoding MP3
-Fixed some typos which doesn't show up with gcc 2.95.2 but causes
 gcc 3.0 to freak out.
-Added support for the new sample rates 44.1 & 32 kHz. Songs
 with a supported sample rate are played without resampling. If
 resampling is needed, try to be smart and select a "even"
 upsampling rate (e.g. 22050->44100). This requires a driver
 dated 2.1.2002 or later. If you want to use MP3 with an older
 driver, you must add ONLY48KHZ=1 to your make commandline or
 your songs are played at a wrong speed.
-Changed jump feature. Now entering only a single value (no more
 hh:mm). The value is in minutes by default, but you can toggle
 it to seconds with the blue key while entering the value (m
 changes to s on display). Additionaly the up key performs an
 absolute jump.
-Now remembering the last selected directory in the browser for
 every source. This makes it easier to add multiple files from a
 directory to a playlist.
-When selecting a mountable source which is not mounted, a mount
 is done by default.
-In the playlist editor it's possible to add directories
 recursivly now. If you're trying to add more than one file,
 there is a confirmation request.
