I have the following problems with cmp3 port: (cmp3-2.0.p50)
1) patch-aa sets the config file to be "$$\(HOME)/.cmp3rc"
the original Makefile expanded $(HOME) to the directory of the user
compiling the program.
strings `which cmp3` shows the exact text "$(HOME)/.cmp3rc"
However, there is no code in cmp3main.c or nevlib/inifile.c to expand
environment variables.
Might it be better for patch-aa to substitute "$(PREFIX)/etc/cmp3rc"
and similar for cmp3ass file.
2) When I attempt to play an mp3 only random noise is produced.
If I type the same mpg123 command then it plays successfully.
I can now start cmp3 and keep adding files to play-list
(they disappear rapidly until the original command finishes)
until one is started by cmp3.
Files will play successfully as long as I keep the play-list full.
3) Pause is not immediate takes approximately 15 sec and Kill
kills many files. I thought these might both related to buffering
in the sound driver or mpg123 program.
therfore I changed the line "mpg123_params := -b 320"
to "mpg123_params := -b 0" to turn off mpg123 buffer.
This change seems to fix:
The random noise at start.
Kill only kills the file being played.
Pause now takes 6 seconds to stop sound.
It does NOT fix:
Running out the play-list - it is still necessary to quit and restart.
I did notice that there is only 1 mpg123 process but with -b 320
there were two, perhaps this was confusing cmp3.
4) I could not get F1 to give help
I use chinese/rxvt (zh-rxvt-2.7.3_1) and ssh to connect to the
machine with the sound hardware, as it has no keyboard or display.
F1 generates <esc>[11~
TERM=xterm-color
if change to TERM=vt200 can use F1 but no colour. The sample termcap
from rxvt produces no colour and no line-drawing graphics.
I could not see any better entries in /usr/share/misc/termcap.
This seems to work: (copied from xterm-color, but base changed to vt220)
setenv TERMCAP \
"xterm-color:pa#64:Co#8:AF=\E[3%dm:AB=\E[4%dm:op=\E[39;49m:tc=vt220:"
The machine configuration is:

Is any one else using this program, if so do you have any comments or
advise on the above?
