154 Q: What about SIDPlay1 & 2 support? I saw some screenshots from 0.8beta
155 that had selectable support for v1 and v2 in the configuration!
156
157 A: The runtime selection in betas 0-4 was based on patched libsidplay2
158 that changed the namespace to not to clash with libsidplay1. I don't
159 think it is worth of the trouble because a) it would break other apps
160 using libsidplay2 unless the patched version was statically linked to
161 XMMS-SID and b) I would have to manually create the patches for every
162 libsidplay2 update. Too much work, so it's not going to happen.
163
164 Only "feasible" (but also not worth of the trouble) way to achieve
165 runtime-selectable support would be to create a dynamic plugin-
166 architechture into XMMS-SID to on-demand load support for emulation
167 engine(s). I might do this if you are willing to pay 2000 EUR for it :-P
