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.
Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2.13 GHz, Intel 965G graphics chipset, 2094 songs, scrolling is very smooth. See the attached video file that shows how I pressed Play, scrolled through the playlist, and then pressed End to show the last item, as a proof. You can study the video frame by frame (e.g., mplayer -speed 0.1), and the clock is also captured for you to see that the video has not been tampered with. Sorry for bad quality, I had to make the video less than 50 kilobytes to pass without moderation.
But, as Randy said, it requires no maintenance (as any other package in the stable book, because the stable book can't be changed), so let it stay.
