I'm building with my minor mods right now on a 2.2.8-STABLE system (last synched back in November, I think; it's a somewhat crusty machine). The only thing I haven't fixed yet is the global namespace problem with the plug-ins; hence the missing features are the wav and mikmod plug-ins. I never use x11amp for wav or mod files, but a couple of us are working on resolving the plugin namespace problems so maybe those will eventually work as well. I'm running on a 3.0-BETA (-stable from today) right now w/o any problems (with no linuxthreads (no kernel changes), no thread-safe X libs, and glib11-devel and gtk11-devel built straight from a current ports tree). Everything works with no glitches so far, including talking to Shoutcast servers. I used x11amp-0.9-alpha2 as my base, but the changes will probably work against later versions (I plan to check against the x11amp CVS repository some time this weekend). No patch files yet, and I'm not sure it's wise for me or anyone else to release patches against an alpha x11amp release since things are likely changing quickly (unless it stays alpha for a long time). The reason I went the route without linux threads (and instead just used libc_r): my desktop is SMP, and linuxthreads doesn't work on SMP kernels (neither does the LWP stuff in CODA and other things, but I really don't want to give up SMP at this point). It looks like the SMP code isn't moving very quickly, unfortunately, so I might get stuck going back to uniprocessor at some point but not right now.
