this can and should only be done if there would be a drop in replacement for xmms available. audacious, bmpx, beeing the most close to xmms, do have partially different syntax wrt/ command line options. now, a volunteer could come up and write a little shellscript for wrapping arround that, but i don't think that someone wants to invest time into that (if not, just tell me ;). > I think xmms is to wide spread as that we just could wild guess how > many users are affected and how they could cope with this. i think, we can just place an appropriate note into lenny release notes about the removal of xmms, together with the list of the three most similar/popular alternatives (audacious, bmpx, and xmms2 that is).
