Just prove there isn't a decent working replacement for XMMS. Start
listing bug reports..
Here the only bug reports seen are the ones from jengelh.
- There is problem with XMMS
- AUD-53 is a no problem with Audacious. Read the bug report to see
the problem is with an specific ALSA driver.
- AUD-54 is a problem with the user that fails to install the HTTP
Audacious plugin and then complains because Audacious doesn't plays
HTTP streams. Yes, I tested it and after installing the
audacious-plugins-transport-http package the URL from the bug report
just worked.

So right now the list of real problems is
XMMS: 1
Audacious: 0

Audacious wins...
