You can at least use the UI in the meantime. We're working on the GUI,
just wait a bit...

Xwave is really unusable as well. The gui is damn slow, it crashes really
often and I can't handle big files.
When we started writing glame, I didn't see one program where it is
possible to just do a simple task like loading the file, analyse the
volume, adjust it and save the file again. Something basic you want to do,
when you're want to a a personal "Best of"-CD with tracks from different
albums. Can you name one of all this projects that are able to do that and
that'll build without problems on every linux-distribution?

Looking at most programs, there is no or little documentation that helps
you understanding how to participate and when you not fully agree with the
concept, you're get faster along just writing your own code from scratch.
And I like programming on my own rather than trying to understand OP's
(undocumented) code.
GLAME isn't really usable yet, but at least our documentation is nearly up
to date with the codebase. That helps to encourage more people to get
involved.
Cheers, Alex
