Yes! I can confirm the popping noises are gone for me now as well, after doing that. So now I would consider Pandora very usable on my N800. Excellent! (Right now it keeps pausing, but I think/hope that's due to the wireless network I'm on, which has often been rather slow in the past.)
Thanks for the fix for that.
About the GUI, I was looking at the other thread about PyPianobar, and I saw the part about the library for it being as large as 44 MB. That might be okay for N900 users, but I checked the free internal memory on my device just now and I only have about 45 MB left total (!). That being the case, I don't think I could sacrifice that much memory for the GUI. (Correct me if I'm reading something wrong here.) I also saw there's another GUI in progress, qtPianobar, but it looks like that one needs some other libraries that wouldn't work with OS2008. So...I guess for now I'll just stick with the command line.
One question about the command-line version....is there a way to get it to store login information? I found the config file in the pianobar directory and edited it, but it didn't seem to make any difference, so I'm guessing the application doesn't really use that file (?).

Now it specifically depends on python2.5-qt4-gui for the version in the Repo.. and the next one will include 2 more... So it won't be 44MB anymore (or at least it shouldn't be.)
I have it on my N810 and don't have a problem.
The next version of pyPianobar ... I just dunno what to do with. It includes an album cover loader but while it's grabbing that data on an N810.. it stutters the pianobar music
. I am trying to work on that.. but I think it's just a problem with the N810 processor handling threads.ETA:

/home/user/.config/pianobar/config
You need to uncomment (remove the #) username and password fields and fill them out appropriately.

Yeah qtPianobar needs the Qt4.6 libs which I am unsure if they have been compiled for Diablo. You might want to check the repos.

It will use the file:
/home/user/.config/pianobar/config

As for the new version, that's a shame. Having cover art download automatically would be cool, but I'd say having the music play smoothly is more important. I don't know if it will be an either/or choice like that, but if so, that's my 2 cents.

If everything works well on my Home Wifi I'll figure it should be OK.. since I think normal wifi is probably the most common connection method for an N8x0?
ETA: If it doesn't work out well for the N8x0 users I can make a version just for you guys without the album loader functionality.

Yes, wifi is by far the most common connection method. A few people connect via their cell phones using bluetooth, but probably not that many.

Changing the default driver to esd works great, it even seems to get rid of pianobar dieing (until reboot) if exited improperly.

Alright, I might give it a shot. Is the link that was in this thread from a few days ago the most recent version for Diablo users?
Thanks for the fix for that.
About the GUI, I was looking at the other thread about PyPianobar, and I saw the part about the library for it being as large as 44 MB. That might be okay for N900 users, but I checked the free internal memory on my device just now and I only have about 45 MB left total (!).
