Pidgin-Audacious-Remote is a plug-in for Pidgin 2; it creates, in conversation and chat windows, some controls that allow two-way interaction with Audacious media player.
Additionally, the plug-in allows users to automatically update their status message using information from the song played in Audacious.
This plug-in has been developed from an already existing plug-in, called Gaim XMMS remote (GXR). Another source of inspiration was the almost-homonymic plug-in Pidgin-Audacious.
Pidgin-Audacious-Remote is (obviously) released under GPLv2. This plug-in is provided AS IS with NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
At the moment, no pre-compiled or binary packets is available. The only option to install the plug-in is to compile it from the source code. In order to do this, it's necessary to have the development libraries for Pidgin and Audacious, besides GCC. In Debian, these libraries should be provided by the packages pidgin-dev and audacious-dev.
Any comment, suggestion, critic, is welcome.
Some of the available controls for conversation windows.
