fair enough, very good reasons for not making it default. It didn't occur to me about the codecs or the branch in which the dependencies had been placed, sorry bout that one. Anyone know of any conversation out in the universe (no pun intended) concidering a port of the code over to gtk2+? and/or moving the codecs to open source/freely distributable ones? ... just curious, i might be chacing a goose on this one.

for sake of performance, efficiency and track record, why don't we just use xmms as default music player? I know the project has technically been abandoned but the debian community (to the best of my knowledge) still upkeeps the version that the ubuntu package is based off of and i don't know of any complaints with xmms from the general community. Just a suggestion.

xmms indeed is a nice audio player but besides being unmaintained as you said, it depends on gtk 1.2 which has been demoted to universe a while ago and more importantly depends on mp3 codecs which cannot be legally shipped.
