Hi everyone. I'm the current maintainer for xmms and all plugins. As you all know xmms is writen over GTK+-1. This toolkit is not supported by the upstream like xmms. We have lot's of dead upstream plugins on portage and this is a pain to maintain like xmms itself. You might want to look at our patchset that contains fixes for 'millions' of bugs. We have a few alternatives like audacious, gstreamer based players and xine-lib players (did i forget anything ?). The problem is that this players doesn't support a few audiotypes or plugins that xmms currently does. So i'm asking for a solution either remove xmms, move the maintainer for anyone who volunteer or the sound herd. My plans now is replace xmms for xmms2 (that i would like to take the maintainership). Opinions ? Ideas ?
