Hi Jirka,

RTP Player is not often use by core team... (but used by a lot of users)...

Patches are welcome :)

As someone who has never used the RTP player, I've often thought it's a bit of a stretch  for a "Packet Analyser" to include the functionality and can't believe that there aren't other applications out thee that can do the job  better than Wireshark.  However I do agree that it would be best to at least maintain what was there in the GTK build, but that does require someone with the requisite skills to step up and maintain it.

  I agree with you and with all your comments and I decided to change it.
  On the other hand, my first task is to unify audio processing code -
same task is coded on multiple places and as consequence you can receive
different output for same input. Therefore it will take a time before I
will change features you mentioned.
