Title: Retrovol - Do you want?
Post by: Misalf on September 21, 2013, 03:25:08 PM

I made myself a retrovol.tcz and was wondering if I should submit it.
It isn't even available for 4.x but I'm not sure why.
Are there any licensing related problems or something (I don't know anthing about that) or is it simply not available just because nobody submitted it?

It takes ~8MB RAM (quite a lot actually).

From the COPYING file for retrovol on github:

Thank you for taking your time to check that out.

Should I include a copy of the LGPL if I would submit retrovol.tcz?

Thanks, I will.

I don't have a 'testing environment' so I only know that retrovol works with ALSA. I don't know about OSS or anything else.

So if at least one person wants retrovol and makes a post here, I'll submit it.
