While audacious can be made to look similar to xmms, it is not xmms,
and indeed they are very different from each other. xmms (with ALSA)
is the only player  that consistently worked for me with no problems
for the last 11 years. Moreover it uses the best (in my opinion) GTK
version out there.

If the esound or pulseaudio plugins are problematic, let us retire
them. I don't think xmms will be used by other people than us fanboys,
and I feel that we are fine with the ALSA output.

Anyhow it looks like spot was kind enough to pick it up, so no worries :)

Best,
