Jaunty, Conky and Audacious

I have been trying to get Conky to display my Audacious track & progressbar - in vain. Even when the manpage mentions the support, its not enabled in the default package. Now since I use Audacious, MPD and Songbird (I wish Conky devs add support for it) interchangeably, I wanted it bad enough to build my own deb package!

Thanks to the guys (or gals) who made checkinstall - I've got my custom conky deb in 10 minutes. Supports:

[/tmp] $ conky -v
Conky 1.7.1.1 compiled Sun Jun 21 13:16:02 SGT 2009 for Linux 2.6.28-11-generic (i686)

Compiled in features:

System config file: /usr/local/etc/conky/conky.conf

X11:
* Xdamage extension
* XDBE (double buffer extension)
* Xft

Music detection:
* Audacious
* MPD
* MOC

General:
* math
* hddtemp
* portmon
* Lua
* wireless
* config-output
* apcupsd

So now, my .conkyrc has two lines - for MPD and Audacious. And the proof of the pudding is in seeing the screenshot :)
