Xmms, I believe it's called. And it's been working fine for quite a while (I've actually have never encountered a bug with Audacious), for me. Now, when I upgraded to 2.4.x dbus was forced on me (well, that and Xfce4)... I'm used to Audacious because I like the simple interface (non-gtk+). But if you have another player you would like to recommend I'll gladly try it. Requirements: no gconf/gnome/udev/udisk(etc.) dependency (only sane dependencies like libogg/flac etc., possibly gtk or qt for ui but nothing else), simple UI (like Audacious legacy mode), no singin' and dancing crap (simplicity over "features")... > Now, that can hardly be dbus's fault if some other app has a hardcoded > RUNTIME dep on dbus. The fault lies entirely with Audacious, not with > dbus. I fully agree to that last sentiment, which is why I'm whining... I thought that was what we were doing here? ;-) But to be fair, it's actually Xfce4 that starts dbus-daemon/launch (I haven't started Audacious yet and I always turn off my computer when not in use).
