I only care for xmms. And a few months ago a new version of xmms was released so technically it's still alive. The reasons why I don't use audacious is because it's slow as hell. Try loading a few 1000 items and scrolling through them with a fancy gtk2 listbox. OTOH gtk1 is obsoleted by any sane package (vim, mplayer, etc.) like you summed up in your list. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
