I just visited DeaDBeeF's website and noticed they now have .deb for ubuntu, even for 64 bit. They didn't have those last time I visited. I downloaded it and it installed itself without a scratch. Everything works out of the box. I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 amd_64.
Even better, they now have stand alone binaries with all the dependencies and plugins built in! I didn't try it as using the .deb is cleaner, but still. It's a good thing they officially maintain those builds, as it lets anyone just download the player and run it on any Linux distribution without the headache of compiling it.
I tried to install the Debian .deb last time, but it didn't work. It was simply not compatible with Ubuntu.
Those files seems nice, but not very useful. I'd love one in English and written for Linux audio. I'd really like to know what the size of the buffer and the period does, and if it changes anything to the music stream.
