Hi! Please find attached bmp-docklet-1.0.ebuild. This Beep Media Player plugin displays a icon in your systemtray and allows several tasks like play/pause or hide and unhide the player. It displays also the title of the current song as tooltips. It is a port of the xmms-status-plugin. I suggest media-plugins/bmp-docklet. It's tested on Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD.

This doesn't work for me - it crashes BMP when it tries to play: > beep-media-player (beep-media-player:14353): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_get_colormap: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed (beep-media-player:14353): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_get_screen: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed (beep-media-player:14353): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_get_depth: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed (beep-media-player:14353): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_rgb_colormap: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (beep-media-player:14353): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_colormap_get_visual: assertion `GDK_IS_COLORMAP (colormap)' failed Received SIGSEGV This could be a bug in BMP.

Yes, there is a bug in the beep media player, when you hide the main window and don't turn off visualization. There is also a bug report on the bmp bugtracker with a patch: http://www.sosdg.org/~larne/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=103 If visualization mode is "Analyzer" or "Scope" than it will crash.

I have wrote a patch for the BMP to prevent crashing. See bug #82337 -> http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82337

it compiles and works on amd64 too, pls add ~amd64 USE flag
it is a bmp plugin - so assigning to sound
This is in the portage tree, with a few minor modifications. The inherit eutils was not required and has been dropped. The ebuild explicitly depends on beep-media-player-0.9.7-r5 which has Mark's patch applied. Thanks for your work :)
