Considering that: * there are at least two GTK2-based XMMS-derivatives ('beep-media-player' & 'audacious') * FLAC does have an upstream ... isn't it possible to change the FLAC dependency on XMMS to a dependency on/from "Beep" (or Audacious?) and get that patch accepted upstream (in either FLAC, Beep or Audacious)?
