You can find patches for building taoframework on recent
distributions here:
http://schmatzler.de/my_slackbuilds/banshee/SlackBuilds/taoframework/
The actual tarball for it is on Sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/taoframework/
The banshee-community-extensions are on gitorious, but I
recommend using my own source:
http://schmatzler.de/my_slackbuilds/banshee/SlackBuilds/banshee-community-extensions/banshee-community-extensions-7ccd277d86ed3fa4de7a0a05bcd91d6d10333010.tar.gz
I reversed some GTK3-related changes in there so all of the
extensions will still work with 2.6.x. Somehow the dev's thought
porting some of the plugins to the 2.9.x branch and then
abandoning it was a good idea.
Building banshee with all extensions is a real mess, I know. I
do packages for Slackware on a regular basis. The whole thing
with tao and OpenVP is just one side of the coin. In order to
get the lyrics plugin running on a non-gnome desktop I had to
build gnome-sharp, then build all the extensions and then remove
gnome-sharp again because it causes crashes if gnome isn't
running. I also had to link banshee against an older version of
sqlite lately and ship that with my own package because
something broke. Not fun.
If there's no package maintainer for your distribution, you
will have to invest a lot of time to get it running. The best
way to use banshee is with one of the distributions mentioned on
http://www.banshee.fm .
If you really want to dig into the source and build some things
yourself, you can look into my sources for Slackware - it's not
Debian or Ubuntu, but in the .SlackBuild files you can see how
I've built each package. I also tried to include notes that
clarify why I did specific things:

Well,
I appreciate it.
I've just been back to Windoze too long I guess. I know "You
need to build banshee-community-extensions with
"--enable-openvp" from source if there's no package ready for
your distribution." probably means I need to find the tarball,
but I can't seem to find it, and "You need to build
banshee-community-extensions with "--enable-openvp" from source
if there's no package ready for your distribution." is pretty
self-explanatory, and I'm already running 2.6.2, but "you also
need the outdated taoframework for that." means nothing at all
to me.
I appreciate the reply, but given all that I think I should just
stick with Clementine if I'm going to use Linux - or maybe just
stick with Windoze.
Thanks though

This will build the OpenVP extension which displays
visualizations.
Note that this will only work with the 2.6.x branch and you
also need the outdated taoframework for that.

Jesus. I've been trying to
get visualizations now for 6.5 hours. I read that I
need community extensions. No software manager I have
(including Synaptic) says anything about community
extensions or visualizations. I've tried every search I
can think of and read every help file I could find.
None of them are actually helpful. I just want
visualizations. It does't seem like finding them should
be an all day project. I'd really appreciate some help
here.
