According to the last package maintainer audacious-crossfade is "impossible to use reliably with audacious 1.5", so he requested it's removal[1] which actually happened on 12/13 May 2008. Thus, after all, audacious-crossfade was never part of a stable Debian release. I don't know what other distributions did to include this plugin. If they found a way and somebody transfers their solution to Debian the package might actually get resurrected. (NB: No, most probably I won't be available to sponsor this, even though I have once maintained that package myself.)
