Audio::Play::MPG321 0.004

Audio::Play::MPG321 is a frontend to MPG321.

SYNOPSIS

use Audio::Play::MPG321; my $player = new Audio::Play::MPG321;

$SIG{CHLD} = IGNORE; # May not work everywhere! $SIG{INT} = sub { $player->stop(); exit 0; };

$player->play("/home/dabreegster/foo.mp3"); do { $player->poll(); print $player->{sofar}, " ", $player->{remains}, " ", $player->state(), "n"; } until $player->state() == 0;

$player->play("/home/dabreegster/bar.mp3"); sleep until $player->state() == 0;

This is a frontend to the MPG321 MP3 player. It talks to it in remote mode and provides constant feedback about the time elapsed so far, the time remaining, and the state of the player.

If you use Audio::Play::MPG321 directly, then you will have to do some extra work outside of the module, as demonstrated in the synopsis. If you want to build a basic queue (Play one song, then play another), then you must keep calling poll() to make sure Audio::Play::MPG321 knows how MPG321 is doing and testing state() to be 0.
