Re: Is player dead?

Hi Brian,

Thank you for these encouraging words, and thank you Rich for the work.  I 
am glad to see that it is still going.

I will be submitting a few patches/drivers, after I have tested them more.

I recently noted that compiling against player now throws loads of warnings 
about boost signals that need to be converted to signals2.  Is that 
something that will be done?

Cheers,

Fred
