[Alsaplayer-devel] More things to do: adding controlling via TCP-socket and splitting main app

[Peter Lemenkov]

Hello All!

AlsaPlayer can be driven via Unix-socket using libalsaplayer. I think
that is a generally good idea - to create a TCP-based interface (and
move libalsaplayer to  standalone application and adding crossplatform
capabilities if they're absent).

My vision of future of AP is main daemon (completely free of any
interface-modules) driven by standalone interfaces via unix-sockets or
tcp (possibly udp?). MPD has similar strategy but it has also some
flaws (for example poor concept of media-database and very limited
number of input formats).

Summarizing things, here is a list of my ideas:

* Adding TCP-based control module in parallel with unix-socket based one.
* Separating libalsaplayer and checking for crossplatform-readiness
* Separating all interfaces (the main questionable thing).

I'd like to discuss these things fbefore starting actual work )
