Note that kmplayer can choose between backend engines as well. I use |
| 13 |
kmplayer merged with USE=xine -mplayer -gstreamer, so with xine. If you |
| 14 |
have more than one of those USE flags on, you can choose which engine it |
| 15 |
uses at runtime. |

FWIW, I've wondered about kaffeine but have simply never gotten around to |
| 18 |
trying it. I did merge amarok the other day and was pleasantly surprised, |
| 19 |
as my current solution, xmms, is eventually headed out of the tree and for |
| 20 |
an overlay (according to recent threads on the dev list), but I still have |
| 21 |
a lot of switching over to do before amarok is as comfortable to me as |
| 22 |
xmms. |
