Hi, You have no guarantees: the decision to remove XMMS was not made because of the availability of Audacious. The decision to remove XMMS was made because:
* It uses GTK1, which itself, is on the way out. * Unicode support is broken. * It had 300+ open bugs, several of which were release critical. If you want XMMS to come back, please correct all of these points. I will be glad to help you get an acceptable version of XMMS included into Debian. Until then, XMMS is no longer acceptable for inclusion in Debian because of these problems.
