Are more formatters not a priority to this module? Just curious.

The two things that are preventing me from using the module is lack of formatters and that it does not handle rss feed enclosures within views.

I have used simple file attachments in the mean time, but I feel that the media field is the way I should go.

By the way I feel that features like this are critical. Feel free to change this it you do not feel the same

I've just taken over maintainer of this module, this is a old issue thats not been followed in quite some time, if its still a problem/of interest let me know and I will take a look - otherwise please close it. No updates for 2 week = i close it.

I've reviewed the patch, while i strongly agree that more formatters are needed, the exact way we are going to go about doing this is not yet fixed. It may be formatters like this are handled by additional modules e.g. mediafield_display or it may be that the most popular ones are merged into the module itself.

How would you like to see it handled?

I am not sure how to handle this.

My problem was the I have a drupal 5 site that I need to have an audop podcast with the transcription of the audio cast. I was using Views 1 to create the list of podcasts and rss feed.

In the list of podcasts there was no easy way to add a flash player, until audio field display module came around.

I think that formatters like this need to be avaiable, but in what form (this module or another) I don't care.

I think, for now, the audio_display method will be the way to do that you need. I think this module is likely to be replaced in D6 by the filefield module (and several formatters), unless i get some really compelling reasons to upgrade it. See http://drupal.org/node/222669 for a discussion about the directions things are headed in.
