Albumplayer Tips

Crossover Linux 11.0/AP5.3(Ubuntu 10.04)

It's running fine, native speed & no pulse issues.

Video support is kind of working with codec's installed, 

but buggy and out of it's placeholder.

Crossover Linux 9.1/AP5.2/ (Ubuntu 9.10)

With the default pulse-audio setup in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, Albumplayer can not resume playing after a pause..  

To use ALSA-only in Ubuntu 10.04 you either need to remove pulseaudio or stop it from auto-spawning. 
To disable auto-spawn, edit or create the file ~/.pulse/client.conf and add a line containing "autospawn = no" there.

I ended up completely removing pulse.
Code:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-alsa gnome-alsamixer
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio

*Note, this will also remove the volume-applet*
(screenlets or avant window navigator can replace the volume-applet)

Another alternative which you can try is Wine with pulse-audio enabled

Crossover Linux 8.0 /AP5.0/ (Ubuntu 9.04)
Albumplayer plays as expected!
Just some issues with the window, minimizing/maximizing the Albumplayer window isn't functional.
Albumplayer 5.0 is the version that plays best in crossover 8.0.

Crossover Linux 8.0 /AP5.1x/ (Ubuntu 9.04)
Albumplayer 5.1 introduced a new graphical engine that runs very slow in crossover.
(It needs a working DIB engine.)
I'm sure once version 5.1 is out Peter can still send you version 5.0 if you ask him.
(There is a noticeable faster result in wine)
