About:
Libvisual is a library that acts as a middle layer between applications that wish to display audio visualisation and audio visualisation plugins. It is aimed at developers who have a need for audio visualisation, and those who write visualisation plugins. By writing an audio visualisation plugin for libvisual, the developer allows every application that uses libvisual to use their plugin. The application handles the actual drawing of the graphics, allowing rendering done by plugins to be drawn anywhere... as ASCII art, in SDL, as a surface on an OpenGL object, etc.

[»] IMPORTANT: Remove old plugins before installing 0.1.6
by synap - Sep 10th 2004 16:11:39

Libvisual users

It's very important to first remove the old libvisual plugins
before installing libvisual 0.1.6. Libvisual 0.1.6 introduces
a complete new plugin system so that is the reason.

Plugins are installed in "%prefix/lib/libvisual/".

This often means /usr/lib/libvisual or /usr/local/lib/libvisual/

Remove this directory, compile libvisual-0.1.6, libvisual-plugins-0.1.6
libvisual-xmms-0.1.6 and you're all set again :)

Thanks for using our audio visualisation framework!
