Bug Description

Installed Ambient Noise Player using this ppa in Kubuntu 14.04 LTS,
and the program didn't startup:
Clicking the icon in launcher(KDE homerun etc) will cause the icon to jump up and down beside the mouse cursor
(the normal behavior a program in KDE starts up),
but then the program ends, without leaving any relative entries in system monitor.

Starting the program in terminal will generate the following message:

$ anoise

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/anoise/anoise.py", line 125, in <module>
    anoise = ANoise()
  File "/usr/share/anoise/anoise.py", line 53, in __init__
    self.player.connect("about-to-finish", self._loop)
TypeError: <__main__.GstPlayBin object at 0x7faea58f9b90 (GstPlayBin at 0x2ede060)>: unknown signal name: about-to-finish

The website (http://anoise.tuxfamily.org/) only describes about the program's behavior under Unity and Gnome desktop,
please give a description of usage in KDE plasma desktop.

Hi! Please, for a fix release, could you try the attachment?

Download it and overwrite this file: /usr/share/anoise/anoise.py
Restart
Try again from the Terminal: anoise

Thanks in advance!

I confirm this. Kubuntu needs Gst 0.10 (not 1.0 as Ubuntu).
I released now. Could you confirm? Just update your system :) anoise version 0.0.20
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install anoise
Thanks in advance and my apologies for the bug.

Thanks for the quick update 0.0.20.
The program is working well as a small-windowed desktop application.
Quite a good substitute for Rainymood.com etc by the way.
