You would have a short career as a DSPlayer developer. I don't know how many hours are involved, but it is barely a hobby now that a template for a working player is already in place.

You are probably right that DSPlayer needs a professional developer with some free time, and probably not even paid free time, just available time, period. If it was for a fee, it would likely only be for a remuneration of their time more than any kind of true financial incentive.

I did assume in the past that aracnoz was a skilled professional programmer by day in Italy, and I would assume a well-paid one by now. This project didn't seem that challenging for him.

For now, doing a proper merge to v18 and bug fix would be good enough for most of us. I still don't know what experience is required to just do that.
