[emms-help] adding a playable filetype

[Steven Arntson]

An elementary question, but I am nonetheless stumped.

I have some .aif files in my collection that emms doesn't know how to
play. Some of my default players (mplayer, vlc) can play these, but the
filetype isn't currently included in the .el file for those players.

Thank you! I've been using Emms for about a year, and it's worked great.

These are set using a macro when the player is initially defined. I've
added aif to the recognized files types for both mplayer and vlc in the
git repo.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! On a more general note then, what is the relationship between
git and the package repositories I originally installed from? Will it
populate in the repos in a little while?

Thanks again,

That depends on the package repository.

We only have control over the main git repo over at Savannah; people
from the different distros package what they want, when they want.

Note that the git repo is kept very stable if you want to use it
directly.
