this means many new codecs... are not and will never be in XMMS.
there is a XMMS2, main difference is the use of GTK+2 and some added functionality.
good information. I didn't know any of that!

it doesn't affect me very much, not yet, since I use it mostly for internet radio, though also the occasional mp3 which may evolve.

I may take another look at xmms2; it didn't appeal and I ended up missing the added functionality.

P.S.: I just 'discovered' "audacious". this looks pretty good and closer to the spirit of xmms. will be having a closer look.
