Chris, I think you were misreading my reply. I know very well why xmms is not in testing: because it was removed from the distro! Only stable is carrying it now. I asked Hugo to show his 'apt-cache policy xmms' because this could shed some light on why he still sees it in unstable. I'm guessing some unofficial repo.
