Audacious 3.0 changelog
- Global hotkeys can now be set to toggle repeat and shuffle.
- The jump to track window now searches artist, album, and filename, as well as the displayed title.
- Album art embedded in Ogg Vorbis files is now displayed.
- The ./configure script can now detect an OSSv4 installation and enable the output plugin automatically.
- FFmpeg’s new API for I/O callbacks is used. An up-to-date copy of FFmpeg is required for playback of WMA, ALAC, and some other formats.
- GTK >= 2.12 and GLib >= 2.16 are now required. Nearly all Linux systems installed in the last few years will have these.

- Switching playlists no longer becomes slow when many playlists are open (AUD-340).
- MP3 decoder now links to system-wide libmpg123 rather than using embedded copy, allowing assembly-optimized floating point decoding.

Hello!
I tried this on Linux Mint 9 (based on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx) but it doesn’t update my audacious.
I’m stuck with version 2.5.3 that’s available in the repositories.
I tried to install from the source files available on their website without success.
Help please?
