Yep I am familiar with it.
I tried totem, but it depends on a series of packages I consider to be
a waste of space on my pc (libnautilus-burn0 for instance, since I
don't have a CD-RW-drive). Most other players were too heavy, I like
gxine the way it is; light and simple. But perhaps one of the Marillar
packages can satisfy me as well.
