A simple implementation of the Q library.

It's a small library with a weird name that solves a problem that really didn't need to be solved. It's also kind of cool.

It simplifies the process of linking together playback from different sources or file formats where multiple players are required.

My audio player expects a file name, but I also want to play mp3 streams off the internet. I have another player that does that, but trying to get them to play nice together is giving me a headache. With Q, as long as I have a basic knowledge of the player's state, I can just add the players to the Q and supply a generic list of tracks with URIs (that at least one of the players understands) and the Q will handle the rest.

It doesn't that much. There's a few inherent drawbacks (using the same player for all tracks would make gapless playback much easier for instance) and it's not necessarily that difficult to implement anyways. I thought it would be a cool project and now it exists.

Heck yeah there is. Check out the open source code and fork the project. Create a feature branch, and whenever you think your code is ready, make a pull request and I'll check it out. If everything passes inspection, it'll be merged into the master branch. You can find a bit more info on the actual project page, so definitely go there if you're interested.

I hope someone finds it useful.
