decibel-audio-player package

I installed decibel audio player on ubuntu 16.04 (take 2)

Asked by CraigFoote

The output of lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy decibel-audio-player is:

No LSB modules are available.

Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
Linux notebook 4.4.0-28-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 24 10:09:13 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Installed: 1.08
  Candidate: 1.08

Reporting same behaviour as previous expired question: starts but won't play music (found previous question at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/decibel-audio-player/+question/295602).

Other sound players, Rhythm Box, DeadBeef, play fine.

Excellent player, anxious for its return :)

1. Why did you create a new question instead of continuing in the other one?

2. Have you seen https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=810249 which as a consequence has lead to the removal of that package from the Ubuntu repositories for 16.04

I installed it from the deb file available from its website.
Sorry I thought since the previous question was marked expired that replies to it might not be read.
Sorry to hear it was removed. Thanks for replying.
