    	RB_PLAYER_ERROR_NO_AUDIO,
    	RB_PLAYER_ERROR_GENERAL,
    	RB_PLAYER_ERROR_INTERNAL
    } RBPlayerError;

### RB_PLAYER_ERROR

    #define             RB_PLAYER_ERROR

### rb_player_error_quark ()

    GQuark              rb_player_error_quark               (void);

### rb_player_open ()

    gboolean            rb_player_open                      (RBPlayer *player,
                                                             const char *uri,
                                                             gpointer stream_data,

Prepares a stream for playback. Depending on the player implementation, this may stop any existing stream being played. The stream preparation process may continue asynchronously, in which case errors may be reported from rb_player_play or using the 'error' signal.

`returns` TRUE if the stream preparation was not unsuccessful

`player` : | a RBPlayer
`uri` : | URI to open
`stream_data` : | arbitrary data to associate with the stream
`stream_data_destroy` : | function to call to destroy the stream data
`error` : | returns error information
Returns : |

### rb_player_opened ()

    gboolean            rb_player_opened                    (RBPlayer *player);

`player` : | a RBPlayer `returns` TRUE if a stream is prepared for playback
Returns : |

### rb_player_close ()

    gboolean            rb_player_close                     (RBPlayer *player,
                                                             const char *uri,
                                                             GError **error);

If a URI is specified, this will close the stream corresponding to that URI and free any resources related resources. If `uri` is NULL, this will close all streams.

If no streams remain open after this call, the audio device will be released.

`returns` TRUE if a stream was found and closed

`player` : | a RBPlayer
`uri` : | optionally, the URI of the stream to close
`error` : | returns error information
Returns : |

### rb_player_play ()

    gboolean            rb_player_play                      (RBPlayer *player,
                                                             gint crossfade,
                                                             GError **error);

Starts playback of the most recently opened stream. If `crossfade` is greater than zero, the player may attempt to crossfade the new stream with any existing streams.

If `crossfade` is zero, the player may attempt to start the stream immediately after the current playing stream reaches EOS. This may or may not result in the phenomemon known as 'gapless playback'.

If `crossfade` is less than zero, the player will stop any existing stream before starting the new stream. It may do this anyway, regardless of the value of `crossfade`.

The 'playing-stream' signal will be emitted when the new stream is actually playing. This may be before or after control returns to the caller.

`returns`: TRUE if playback started successfully

`player` : | a RBPlayer
`crossfade` : | requested crossfade duration
`error` : | returns error information
Returns : |

### rb_player_pause ()

    void                rb_player_pause                     (RBPlayer *player);

Pauses playback of the most recently started stream. Any streams being faded out may continue until the fade is complete.

`player` : | a RBPlayer

### rb_player_playing ()

    gboolean            rb_player_playing                   (RBPlayer *player);

`player` : | a RBPlayer
Returns : | TRUE if a stream is currently being played (not paused or being faded out).

### rb_player_set_volume ()

    void                rb_player_set_volume                (RBPlayer *player,
                                                             float volume);

Adjusts the output volume level. This affects all streams. The player may use a hardware volume control to implement this volume adjustment.

`player` : | a RBPlayer
`volume` : | new output volume level

### rb_player_get_volume ()

    float               rb_player_get_volume                (RBPlayer *player);

`player` : | a RBPlayer
Returns : | current output volume level

### rb_player_set_replaygain ()

    void                rb_player_set_replaygain            (RBPlayer *player,
                                                             const char *uri,

                                                             double album_gain,
                                                             double album_peak);

Sets ReplayGain values for a stream

`player` : | a RBPlayer
`uri` : | URI of stream to adjust
`track_gain` : | ReplayGain track gain level
`track_peak` : | ReplayGain track peak level
`album_gain` : | ReplayGain album gain level
`album_peak` : | ReplayGain album peak level

### rb_player_seekable ()

    gboolean            rb_player_seekable                  (RBPlayer *player);

`player` : | a RBPlayer
Returns : | TRUE if the current stream is seekable

### rb_player_set_time ()

    void                rb_player_set_time                  (RBPlayer *player,

Attempts to seek in the current stream. The player may ignore this if the stream is not seekable. The seek may take place asynchronously.

`Param2` : |

### rb_player_get_time ()

    long                rb_player_get_time                  (RBPlayer *player);

`player` : | a RBPlayer
Returns : | the current playback position in the current stream
