Yes, looked at this. It's similar to stadard xmms
posibilites. xmms-pipe have much wider posibilites.

I use mainly skipping within a track (not to next track) so I can
rewind without touching a mouse and switching to third workspace where
xmms is sitting.

Another frequently used xmms-pipe functionality is volume control
(with software mixing enabled you can control volume of xmms
independently from Main/PCM volume).

Useful is also reporting info (e.g. about played track) to output
pipe.
