I know that amp is already available but it has two shortages:
1. The main shortage is that amp can't play when moc, cmus, or other players that play 'audio', are playing.
2. The second one is that amp can't play ogg, wav (but it can be converted to mp3, though).

Why do I need it?
To tell to conky to play a sound file (this or this) when the uploading rate of the to the interwebz will be under 60 kb/s.


Edit: (if uploading rate speed of eth0 is less than 55 kb/s then activate script)

Inside of .conkyrc

Code: Select all

${if_match ${upspeedf eth0} <= 55}${execp .scripts/yauap.sh}${endif}

yauap.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
yauap /tmp/12677__Peter_Gross__Sonar_pings.ogg | echo '${alignc}${color RED}ALERT${color}'

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
yauap /tmp/12677__Peter_Gross__Sonar_pings.ogg | echo '${voffset 13}${alignc}${color RED}ALERT${color}${voffset -13}'

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
yauap /tmp/12677__Peter_Gross__Sonar_pings.ogg | echo '${voffset 13}${alignc}${blink ${color RED}ALERT}${color}${voffset -13}'

You may also want to write a command, inside the script, to upload a message to your damned ISP that says: "You are cheating. Fix the upload speed or I'll sue you!"

Then dmix is not configured correctly or moc is configured to use the hardware device instead of the dmix device.

I'm using mpg123 or ogg123.

mpg123 - play audio MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 stream (layers 1, 2 and 3)
ogg123 - plays Ogg Vorbis files

As long as I can ply OGG I'll be happy

You can use MPlayer to play all sound formats on command line.
