The Bonk format is a compressed audio file format that supports high-quality audio at lower bit rates. It uses a psychoacoustic model to discard irrelevant sound data, reducing the file size while retaining sound quality. The format is suitable for use in streaming media applications, where bandwidth efficiency is essential.
The bonk-xmms plugin is designed for XMMS multimedia player and plays audio files in the bonk format. The bonk format is created by Paul Harrison and is a highly compressed audio format. You can find the original bonk format encoder on their website.
In order to use the bonk-xmms plugin, you need to have XMMS and the GTK library including header files, as well as the GLIB library including header files. To install, simply use the command "make" and then, as root, use "make install". It's important to quit XMMS before installing the new plugin to avoid crashes.
One limitation of the current version of the bonk format is that it's not possible to go forward to a position that hasn't been read. This may impact some users' experience.
A recent update to the bonk-xmms plugin has fixed compilation issues with gcc 3.1 thanks to Christian Weisgerber. Overall, bonk-xmms is a useful plugin for XMMS users who want to play audio files in the bonk format.
