[idea] rockbox as a music engine
My most favorite music player is rockbox (https://www.rockbox.org). This software is created for mp3 players. It is designed as a complete operating system for these devices. But it can also be used as a client program, e.g. on n900.
Features:
- seamless music player
- cross fading of titles
- nearly all codecs (including opera and aac)
- rooming effects
- equalizer
- other sound effects
- normalizing and replay gain
- good playlist handling
When looking at the code you can see that the sound engine itself is a thread which can be controlled by a special API. It should be possible to let it run without it's default gui. So another gui interface for controlling should be possible.
What about using this engine in a Sailfish music player?
