Ouch, this is really bad for mips. BMP is really the only decently |
| 14 |
modern gui-fied mp3 player in portage which actually works for us (aside |
| 15 |
from the horribly ugly xmms). Anything gstreamer or xine-lib based is |
| 16 |
unusable (ping me on irc if you want more information). |

Ugh, it looks like this new 'BMPx' branch uses gstreamer. Is there no |
| 31 |
way to keep the good old clean, working version of BMP in portage? |
