Gnome-Media 1.176.0: "Don't think of it as atomic energy, think of it as
a terrible nuclear force"
========================================================================

Say kids, what time is it?
Yes, it's that time again. 
Have you ever wanted to play a CD in gnome, or maybe record some music 4
no musicians, or how about change the volume on your soundcard. Or maybe
all you want is to watch pretty lights bounce up and down. Then
GNOME-Media 1.176.0 is the package for you. It does all the above, and
lots[1] more[2].

Oh oh oh oh! Let us play, where is it?
==============================================
http://primates.ximian.com/~iain/gnome-media/gnome-media-1.176.0.tar.gz.
Rumours have it that it may even be in ftp.gnome.org somewhere, but
thems just rumours, y'all.

New beats and pieces
====================
Well, the busy media elves have been busy and they tell me they've done
the following:

Gnome-CD:
* Made having bad preferences no longer an issue. If you set an invalid
device to be your CD device, it'll ask you to fix it.
* Uses the new CDDBSlave parser to achieve perfect[3] CDDB parsing.
* I made a new theme. Well okay, the lcd-theme was cloned again, and I
tinted the images red. Look, I told you my art skills suck didn't I?

CDDBSlave2:
* Made a new parser to achieve parsing perfection. No longer are
Godspeed You Black Emperor! song titles cut off halfway. No more shall
gnome-cd refer to The Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra and TraLaLa
Band as "ra and TraLaLa Band". Plus it looks nicer too.
* Bug fixes.
* Implemented a new interface for the clients to get data from the
parser. It's nifty.
* A properties capplet that does really funky things.

GMix:
* Marc Mulachy made it all accessible and stuff.

Seth Nickell also did some other stuff. See if you can find it...

I'm wild about that thing!
==========================
Here's what it looks like to make you even wilder.

[3] for varying amounts of perfection[4]
