Revive the old winamp plugin for WACUP ?

[stuaxo]

While Winamp itself is gone in all but name, WACUP continues as a fork of Winamp.

Would it be possible to revive the old Winamp plugin for ProjectM?

Wine is missing support for the shader model needed to run Milkdop, and it would be good to run projectM.

I know I can run projectM standalone, but integration has benefits too.

Not sure if there's any code out there for the old plug-in, never seen that.

Shouldn't be too hard for a Windows dev to use the Winamp API headers and package projectM into a viz DLL.

Note: When doing so, please remember to either develop the whole plug-in under LGPL or if it's being developed as closed-source, dynamically link projectM.dll per the license requirements.

If anyone goes for making Open Source vis_projectm.dll for Winamp/WACUP and wants to save a bit on restarting Winamp/WACUP and repetitive clicking, my https://github.com/hartwork/visdriver may be able to help (on Windows or Wine and GNU/Linux).

@hartwork fantastic work - I had a project on my inifinite procrastination backlog to revive the ancient wine-xmms plugin that did something similar, but I don't need to now :)

@stuaxo thanks! I googled for "wine-xmms" now and found https://www.emulinks.de/xmms-winamp/ — is that the project you were referring to? Let's maybe take that to e-mail though.
