Barōk (or barok, from baroque) is a lightweight media player daemon:
It runs as a background process and plays your favorite music or video files. You can manage your playlist using compatible (graphical or not) front-ends but you don't constantly need one running, thus you save memory!
It can be compared to MPD (Music Player Daemon) without network support (so it's more secure!) and plus it supports audio, video and live streams, using Gstreamer.
Barok’s development has now resumed and we have switched to C++. As for libraries, we’ll use Glibmm, Gstreamermm and dbus-c++.
You can track the development status and check out our trunk branch on this page.

View Comments This post is a little update on the development status for barok.
The recent change of server (that hosts all the codealpha projects) took me some time that I couldn’t spend on Barok, but now that this is done and working (and working good now!) I can start coding hard.
A relational schema has been created and is accessible through the development page. This is for those who would like to contribute. 
I am still running tests with dbus and glib, so the development of barok is beginning slowly but safely.
Stay tuned, I’ll keep you updated on the development status!
Barōk is a new project which has just been created.
Plans are currently on paper but the development will be starting the 28th.
Stay tuned using our RSS feeds, because the first beta packages should be released in a few weeks!
