Problem with building E2 with libsigc++ 2.X

[Audioniek]

Hello everybody.

With regards to the original problem (building E2 with sic++-2.x) it is now safe to say that this is adequately been solved and this situation is stable. E2 diff2 is quite recent and builds without problems.

The transition to the separate player is making progress. With the ServiceMP3 plugin things are looking pretty good and building is possible with all framework combinations. There are some small things to iron out; for instance I have not been able to play any .wav files. Meanwhile, ngc1927 also has reported some minor problems, which I will look into.

Currently I am working on the extended version of ServiceMP3, internally called servicemp3epl. This uses a different approach compared to the classic TDT solution (that is gstreamer only, gstraemer + libeplyer3 or eplayer3 only) in that in fact it features only two frameworks: gstreamer only or eplayer3 only. If you build both, one can switch between the two. In addition there is to be a second plugin: ServiceApp, that allows you to configure servicemp3epl including choice of framework.

At the moment servicenmp3epl only builds with gstreamer and I made a beginning of integrating ServiceApp.

Although this is all much fun, the image gets bigger and bigger. We have arrived in an era where the average SH4 box cannot hold E2 in flash anymore except with 128 Mbyte of flash memory or more. This effectively means the two Sparks and Fortis, third generation (HS7XX9), and perhaps the Kathrein UFS913.
