While cdda might be the correct technical term, how many users will |
| 26 |
actually recognize what it means? Personally I think "cdaudio" (or, to |
| 27 |
throw in another alternative "audiocd") would be recognized by most |
| 28 |
users as support for playing audio cd's (as in the things you buy in the |
| 29 |
shops and stick into any stereo made in the last 15+ years). |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Are users really going to want to fine-tune between just playing or also |
| 32 |
being able to rip/write audio cd's? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
A quick check with "quse -D cdaudio cdda" (below) shows that the current |
| 35 |
use flag descriptions, as far as I read them, don't make any discrepancy |
| 36 |
between these definitions anyway - they all basically say "play audio |
| 37 |
cd's" to me (with some additionally enabling cddb, which as a side note |
| 38 |
already has a global use flag) |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Current use flag descriptions: |
| 41 |
local:cdaudio:media-plugins/audacious-plugins: Enable cd audio playback |
| 42 |
support |
| 43 |
local:cdaudio:media-sound/amarok: Enable cdaudio functionality |
| 44 |
local:cdaudio:media-sound/decibel-audio-player: Adds support for CD |
| 45 |
audio playback and lookups via CDDB |
| 46 |
local:cdaudio:media-sound/mpfc: Enable cd audio playback support |
| 47 |
local:cdaudio:media-sound/picard: Enable support for CD Index Lookups. |
| 48 |
local:cdda:gnome-base/gvfs: Enables Compact Disc Digital Audio |
| 49 |
(standard audio CDs) support |
| 50 |
local:cdda:media-sound/aqualung: Enables libcdda cd audio playback support |
| 51 |
local:cdda:media-video/vlc: Enables audio CD and VCD playback support. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
So ultimately, this isn't even bike shedding in my opinion. There's only |
| 54 |
one color to paint with anyway. |
