Software-update: Audacious 4.4

Versie 4.4 van Audacious is uitgekomen. Audacious is een lichtgewicht en opensource-muziekspeler en in zekere zin de opvolger van xmms. Het programma kan audio-cd's afspelen of muziekbestanden op de computer, maar ook direct streamen van internet. Het heeft een equalizer aan boord en kan overweg met Winamp-skins. Downloads zijn beschikbaar voor Windows en verschillende Linux-distributies. De changelog voor deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:

Known issues:

Using the Winamp interface on Wayland is not supported due to limitations in Wayland regarding application-side window positioning (see also #common problems). We suggest to run Audacious via XWayland therefore.
