[ydl-gen] libFLAC.so.4

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Olaf:
I believe I found that discussion you are referring to; there is 
difficulty with Rev's approach however which he mentioned in the first 
two lines after his introduction.
He chose to attempt at that time to use freshrpms associated with YDL 
4.0 as though they could be used with YDL 4.1.

However, Andres (to whom Rev was responding to), who was able to get 
xine actually working may have used fresh and current libraries, 
source, etc. directly from the xine project 
(http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases) itself.  Not everyone is as 
patient as Andres in getting this done, but when YDL 4.1 (or any 
current distribution of Linux) it is recommended to always get the 
current source, libraries, and so on, from a particular project and 
build the application within the current distribution if that 
application which one really wants is for some reason omitted, 
overlooked or otherwise not included in the current distribution.

There are reasons why an app. may not have been included, but open 
source being open source, if you want it -- you can get it and get it 
up and running your way.  The whole point being no one can tell you 
"No!".  Of course, it may not be simple -- but it isn't impossible 
either.  Just remember to keep both the distribution current together 
with the libraries, source and apps of the project (like xine) which 
interests you and they should work together ... once all the other 
details are worked out.  Again, not everyone is as patient and focussed 
as Andres was.

The prize, however, as Andres proved is getting xine (or any similar 
project) to work successfully with your distribution of choice.

All the Best...
