NOTES
* I needs to use an external wav player because phonon library can cope neither with collins nor langenscheidt samples (you can verify it trying to play dictionary samples using amarok)
* alsaplayer seems to be the best player for collins samples
* for langenscheidt I haven't found proper player, I used mpg123, but samples are still cut off (if you find proper player please let me know)
* there is newer version of libydpdict library working properly with Langenscheidt dictionary (see second download link or http://toxygen.net/ydpdict/)

THANKS
* Darek Jakoniuk - for many suggestions & new ideas :)
