Sound herd will have an overlay as soon as we elect a new leader and put |
| 18 |
xmms there. This is a solution that prevents users to turn their back |
| 19 |
from us. So xmms will only be used in special cases when someone looks |
| 20 |
to play something other players don't play. |
| 21 |
We will keep the future in mind like "we need to inovate" and put xmms2 |
| 22 |
in the tree. |
