I'll package up xmms-libvisual if you don't want it.  I'd be happy to
work together as much as possible.  If I start to fall behind on
xmms-libvisual you should feel free to hijack it (and I'll do the same
with libvisual.)

Don't feel bad.  Even if you stick to Free Software compatible video
cards you still get sucked into a mixed up system.  I'm using a DRI
libGL myself.

Thanks.  I'll grab a copy of your packages, look them over and start
building an xmms-libvisual package.  I'd sponsor your packages, but I'm
still learning myself.  I haven't done a regular upload yet.

Let me know if I can help.
