Code:
mplayer -ao pcm vuvuzela.mp3
mv audiodump.wav vuvuzela.wav
and then putting vuvuzela.wav in a new directory together with the contents of the zip-file i provided.

Have fun!

P.S.: One (among probably many) caveat, though: The soundfile doesn't loop very good. If we find a properly (i.e. CC) licensed one, we can however cut it as we see fit
Great work eagle_linux! I installed it and it works flawlessly - touch the screen to play the vuvuzela file, lift your finger to stop playing! A great app and with your first post on maemo.org too!



I can't believe nobody has thanked you yet - they ask for a vuvuzela app, you deliver one - what a fickle crowd we have here

Maybe next step is to package it up with a sound file and put it on the repositories! And don't be letting your new found skills go to waste, beginners welcome in the friendly coding comp (link in sig below)

btw If anyone is stuck finding a vuvuzela wav file, I literally used the first result from a google search.

I almost cant wait to get into work tomorrow and have this beauty blaring away all day
