Re: [orca-list] accessible daisy player software

[Steve Holmes <steve holmesgrown com>]

I messed with idair some and ran into a lot of seg fault problems with 
it.  I did start working on it some to correct the navigation keys; they 
were backwards from what I could tell so switched them around.  I left 
it alone for a while now because in addition I found that the program 
kept replaying buffers of audio so it appeared to be stuck.  I'm rather 
disappointed that there isn't a decent Daisy player for linux that 
actually works.  I can't get listen-up to play any book I have access 
to.  After my Victor Reader Stream came in the mail last year, I've 
pretty much given up on finding a decent linux daisy player.
