   xmms keeps installing glib-1.2. Then, glib-config is run, shows the 1.2

   support glib-config, but pkg-config instead) and the whole build process
   bails out (capture below).
   
   Is it not possible to build  xmms with glib-2?

   Should I uninstall glib-2, install xmms with glib1.2, then reinstall
   glib-2? 
 
 Beto, I don't know if this is a useful data point, but on 5.4-RELEASE I
 recently installed xmms from ports, and recall it whinged about the glib
 2.6.3 version already installed, but said (as I recall - wish I'd saved
 the output) that it would build itself with glib-1.2 anyway, which I
 assume it must have.  So I would up with both glibs installed:
 
 paqi# pkg_info | grep glib\|xmms
 glib-1.2.10_11  Some useful routines of C programming (previous stable
 vers glib-2.6.3_1Some useful routines of C programming (current
 stable versi taglib-1.3.1Library for manipulating ID3 tags and Ogg
 comments xmms-1.2.10_3   X Multimedia System --- An audio player with a
 Winamp GUI
 
 Older versions, I know, but xmms is working fine.

Hi Ian, thanks for the info.

Yes, i had end up with that situation, but i believe glib2 was also needed for
other ports (gtk2, i think). This was causing some conflicts, as said before...
so decided to upgrade everything to glib2, which worked fine for all ports
other than xmms. 

As suggested by another poster, I'm trying other players :) (I realised i had
mplayer , xfce4media and xmms installed... mplayer works just fine with glib2,
so using it instead for now). 

Thanks for the help ,
Beto

Cheers Svein - tried audacious but couldn;t get sound output to work at all.
esound and/or oss . realplayer  would play the same file just fine (mp3)

Also tried xmms2 and several of their clients, but they seem to be very early
in their development stages. I'll be using mplayer for now...
thx

Sorry, but I can't help you. It works here.
I don't know the code base, so I can only suggest the standard
troubleshooting techniques: To check wheter or not the dsp device is
opened, monitoring your esound server, etc.

About the plugins-question: I'm not sure, but I don't think you can
use precompiled xmms-plugins with Audacious, but most probably just
needs to be recompiled against the new library, with little or no
changes to the source code at all. Also, most plugins are already
ported to Audacious and are included in a vanilla install, like all
the standard input and output plugins.

Fair enough, most do indeed seem a bit immature.
Whatever you use, I hope it meets your needs.

Try one of these ports instead:

multimedia/audacious
multimedia/bmpx

Both of which are xmms forks written to use gtk2. The latter is almost
a complete rewrite of beep media player (bmp, which in turn was a fork
of xmms), while the former is a more direct descendant of xmms, I
think.

I'm using audaciuos myself, but are looking into bmpx as it is evolving.
