1 Introduction
2 ============
3 The XMMS-SID plugin will work much better if you install the song
4 position patch ("xmms-songpos.patch*") which makes it possible for
5 the plugin to use the position slider to choose subtunes.
6
7 It also patches some other plugins (like MikMod plugin) for
8 improved features. Additionally, the patch for XMMS 1.2.5
9 has a dirty hack fix

11 Patching
12 ========
13 Short instructions of patching XMMS for the uninitiated ;-)
14
15 (Substitute the 1.2.5 version number with the appropriate version)
16
17 1) Unpack the XMMS source distribution:
18
19 tar -xzvf xmms-1.2.5.tar.gz
20
21 2) cd xmms-1.2.5
22
23 3) Choose appropriate patch:
24 If you have XMMS version 1.2.0-1.2.3, choose patch version 1.2.2
25 With 1.2.4 and later, choose patch version 1.2.5!
26
27 4) Patch the XMMS (with the selected patch file)
28
29 patch -p1 < /some/where/xmms-songpos.patch.1.2.5
30
31 5) If the patch succeeded (no failures, no .rej files), you
32 can now compile and install the XMMS. (Read through XMMS
33 documentation how to do it if you don't already know)
34
35 If some part of the patch does not succeed, you may need
36 to fix it by hand. Or you could just not use the patch :)
37
38 (See the TODO-file for what I have planned to remedy this patch with!)

41 NOTICE
42 ======
43 If you patched and recompiled XMMS _after_ you had already used
44 XMMS-SID, you need to re-compile XMMS-SID too to make it use the
45 patch features!
