[m3000][root][~] emerge --ask alsaplayer
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "alsaplayer".
OK guys, where is alsaplayer hiding?
xine ==> almost as bloated as Windows Media Player. I want a simple
*AUDIO PLAYER* dammit, not some honking big "multi-media" package that
takes forever to build. I've had problems building xine, and swear by
mplayer. I'd sooner use mplayer than xine.
amarok ==> Even worse than xine. It's a Windows Media Player wannabee
bloated frontend that ends up launching xine. In addition to building
xinelib, it also builds kde-base, ruby, and a bunch of other junk.
