Kindle player build

In addition to the info in the post above:

The project looks like it has been stalled for over a year:
http://gitorious.org/kindlebrew/mplayer

But of interest (in addition to the README file) is the comment at the top of the build.sh file:
Quote:
## Prefix where alsa-lib 1.0.13 for arm is installed
## For some reason, I couldn't get alsa to make a dynamic version of
## libasound.so.2, so I copied it from the Kindle
## If you do that you'll need to create a symbolic link:
## ln -s libasound.so.2 libasound.so

ALSAPREFIX=/opt/kindle
WATCHOUT for those text files - when I cut and pasted that, it came out with CRLF line endings.
So be sure the line endings are correct!

Hmm...
Probably time for a re-build against current Kindle libraries, using the correct kernel headers (2.6.31?), if only just for the drill.

Why?
Because the SIP thread/project (and others) stalled at this same point - no output sound.
