I've read the complete thread, and i understand who the main reason from
the mantainers are these. But, in the other hand, have the reason of
gtk1.2 removal porposal. I understand this, but, i say who <SAME> of the
given reasons are incorrect. Too, i say who the package are really
popular, and doesnt exist an real replace for this, because the similar
packages are too new packages.
Simply you can read this thread and can find a report of audacious (main
candidate for xmms replace) crashing on a max time of 2 minutes running.
And, the another candidates, are for example, xmms2, a stream server who
in debian only have a VERY simply interface (without really
functionality in comparation of xmms), or the console-client, who
doesn't are a replace at all.
