---Reply on mail from Ari Heitner about x11amp playlist bug
hi, x11 audio mpeg player (x11amp) version 0.65, when installed setuid root (as suggested by the README file), creates playlist files in ~/.x11amp while making 'root' the owner of these plaintext files (instead of theI installed x11amp w/o making it setuid, it's perms are -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 623456 Feb 23 13:33 x11amp* it works very nicely. I don't know why the x11amp people would recommend setuiding it to root, except that this may avoid access problems writing to /dev/dsp. Ari Heitner aheitner () tjhsst edu
---End reply the setuid bug is fixed.. and making x11amp set uid root or runned by root will make x11amp play in realtime which will make the cpu usage even lower than played by a user. Crocodile - x11amp staff
