6 Xmms, I believe it's called. And it's been working fine for quite a
7 while (I've actually have never encountered a bug with Audacious), for
8 me. Now, when I upgraded to 2.4.x dbus was forced on me (well, that and
9 Xfce4)... I'm used to Audacious because I like the simple interface
10 (non-gtk+). But if you have another player you would like to recommend
11 I'll gladly try it. Requirements: no gconf/gnome/udev/udisk(etc.)
12 dependency (only sane dependencies like libogg/flac etc., possibly gtk
13 or qt for ui but nothing else), simple UI (like Audacious legacy mode),
14 no singin' and dancing crap (simplicity over "features")...

20 I fully agree to that last sentiment, which is why I'm whining... I
21 thought that was what we were doing here? ;-)
22 But to be fair, it's actually Xfce4 that starts dbus-daemon/launch (I
23 haven't started Audacious yet and I always turn off my computer when not
24 in use).
