Comment 21 for bug 807860

For those of you who don't want to wait for a new Ubuntu package to be released every time there's a protocol update: I recommend simply building from source, available from pianobar's github (github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar). It seems that the source is updated within a few hours each time the protocol changes. The installation is really straightforward and painless, in my experience. The dependencies are very clearly stated in the INSTALL file, as well as the commands to compile.

Be aware, though, that there is another bug affecting pianobar (after the protocol update - see https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/issues/174), which has been fixed but the master branch won't be updated until this weekend, according to the developer.
