Subject: audacious: disabling plugins does not prevent them from loading

Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:46:29 -0600 (CST)

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-4
Severity: normal

It appears that disabling plugins via the audacious configuration does not 
actually prevent them from loading.

The amidi-plug plugin (in package audacious-plugins-extra) prints some 
annoying startup messages to the console when it gets loaded.  This wouldn't 
be such a problem except I often use the commandline interface to control 
the player and queue files.

amidi-plug(amidi-plug.c:amidiplug_init:97): init, read configuration
amidi-plug(i_backend.c:i_backend_load:107): loading backend 
'/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug/ap-alsa.so'
amidi-plug(i_backend.c:i_backend_load:145): backend 
/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug/ap-alsa.so (name 'alsa') successfully 
loaded

Disabling the plugin from within the audacious configuration did not help, 
so I tried moving the plugin .so out of the way, but now it complains it 
isn't there.

amidi-plug(amidi-plug.c:amidiplug_init:97): init, read configuration
amidi-plug(i_backend.c:i_backend_load:107): loading backend 
'/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug/ap-alsa.so'

** (xmms:3084): WARNING **: unable to load backend 
'/usr/lib/audacious/Input/amidi-plug/ap-alsa.so'

I'd be happy if I can just discover a way to truly disable the plugin.

Thanks.

Loading all plugins, including disabled ones, is too deeply embedded in
the design of Audacious to fix at this point.

However, deleting a plugin will work if you do it correctly. You
apparently did not delete all of amidi-plug, only one of its backends;
that's why it complained.

This is now implemented upstream in the 2.5 development branch
(excluding low-level plugins, which cannot be disabled).
