XMMS works well for what it does, is lightweight by today's standards, and has survived most of its sucessors. The only alternative is Audacious, which has much heavier dependencies.

I guess Audacious is unmaintained and should be deleted. > Then, once it is reasonable to assume that a port is unused it is first > marked deprecated which gives users some time to step forward. There seems to be the general problem, seen again and again, that users only learn of a port's deprecation status when it is finally removed and not in the preceding grace period. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
