Tracker can be really annoying (ignoring NoIndexFileTypes) and for some reason it doesn't index my *.ogm files

After a few suggestions I thought that simple as this is the best, feel free to include them in the package.

That's why I think I'm not free to include it after all. I'll probably upload a few bugfixes tomorrow and modify the old icon a bit, so it looks shinier. If someone considers it ugly, I'm open to suggestions, but make sure it doesn't belong to someone else. And of course it's possible to change the icon on your own, simply replace "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/openmediaplayer.png".

In russian id3 we have serious encoding problems (deprecated 8bit cp1251 and utf8 mixed).

Yes, I wouldn't even bother without microphone. If you checked that package out and that is what the included binary does, you're one step ahead of me. I only looked at its description and contents, and seeing that the library is already in Maemo, I thought putting this together might be not that hard.



What worries me more than memory consumption is adding more dependencies, especially depending on a package that is only in extras-devel, in case OMP was to be moved to testing or CSSU.
