I have been using xmms to listen to an MP3 stream for several years. Clicking on the desired stream always brought up the xmms window, complete with graphical pre-amp controls. Recently, because there are several buttons on that window whose function was not clear to me, I experimented by clickin one. This caused the xmms window to disappear, and I have never been able to recover it. At the same time, xmms appears in the panel as an active app; just as I can't cause it to display on the Deskktop, I am unable to close it and disappear from the panel. Since xmms has been doing this disappearing act, opening an audio stream does nothing with FF's Action for PLS files set to xmms. I therefore installed gecko-mediaplayer, and fortunately FF gave me the option of setting Action for PLS streams to that app. The Action for MP3 is still set to xmms, because FF does not offer the option of setting it to gecko-mediaplayer, and I have no clue what the name of the executable of that program might be. (Applications often have obscure names for their executables. It might be helpful if their rpm packages would offer a hint, perhaps within man or info, but they don't.) Streams still play, apparently through gecko-mediaplayer, but this is not the way things should be. Among other things, I would like to get the pre-amp sliders back. How can I restore the previous behavior? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
