Hi everyone. |

I'm the current maintainer for xmms and all plugins. As you all know |
4 |
xmms is writen over GTK+-1. This toolkit is not supported by the |
5 |
upstream like xmms. We have lot's of dead upstream plugins on portage |
6 |
and this is a pain to maintain like xmms itself. You might want to look |
7 |
at our patchset that contains fixes for 'millions' of bugs. |
8 |
We have a few alternatives like audacious, gstreamer based players and |
9 |
xine-lib players (did i forget anything ?). The problem is that this |
10 |
players doesn't support a few audiotypes or plugins that xmms currently |
11 |
does. |
12 |
So i'm asking for a solution either remove xmms, move the maintainer for |
13 |
anyone who volunteer or the sound herd. |
14 |
My plans now is replace xmms for xmms2 (that i would like to take the |
15 |
maintainership). Opinions ? Ideas ? |
