I think wav-files are played through the sndfile plugin. So libsndfile needs to be installed when building audacious-plugins.

Hmmm..... but I don't have libsndfile installed and I can play wav files? I shall install it and recompile, just for curiosity

Microsoft ADPCM, RIFF .wav data, 18+ different other WAV formats provided by sndfile plugin.

But maybe the ffmpeg plugin is used for playing wav-files when sndfile is not available.

Indeed I suspect this is the case, I compiled against libsndfile and thus gained the sndfile plugin but as far as I can see there is no way for the user to decide from within audacious which plugin should be used (as is possible in MPlayer). Interestingly enough in $HOME/.config/audacious/plugin-registry the order of preference for the plugins seems to be set:

Code:

module /usr/lib/audacious/Input/sndfile.so
stamp 1294212640
input 0
name sndfile plugin
priority 0
about 1
config 0
enabled 1
ext wav
ext raw
ext au
ext aiff

[...]

module /usr/lib/audacious/Input/ffaudio.so
stamp 1294212640
input 0
name FFaudio Plugin
priority 10
about 1
config 0
enabled 1
ext ogg
ext wav
ext m4a
ext vqf
ext ape
ext ac3
ext oma
ext aa3
ext shn
ext wma
ext mpp
ext mp+
ext mpc

Fascinating stuff...

Not had a chance to play with my -current installation again for a bit, but I'm just wondering what the thoughts are from Pat, Eric, Robby, etc, on having the new version in the next release.

Looks like some good news:

Code:

xap/audacious-2.4.2-i486-1.txz:  Upgraded.
xap/audacious-plugins-2.4.2-i486-1.txz:  Upgraded.

Thanks to PV and team!

I'd seen this myself earlier this week, but haven't really had time for LQ until now. Thanks to the Slackware team
