Thanks a lot Florian for your comprehensive explanation. 

Just for the record, I really miss the crossfading feature, While looking 
for solutions, I found another tools, aqualung, which has the feature of 
inserting no gaps between adjacent tracks. But it is no where close to 
crossfading. However, I think I'll keep it to replace audacious, because 
I just like its simplicity, and its even supporting some weird sound 
formats (that I have) like MOD  Speex.

Hello all,

True. It existed since uploading 0.3.11-3 of the source package
xmms-crossfade and entered Lenny on 07 Sep 2007[0].

 But it no longer exist from the official site. Does it ever exist? What 
 happened to it? Why Debian doesn't have this package, since other distros 
 like RedHat, Ubuntu, etc all have it. 

According to the last package maintainer audacious-crossfade is
impossible to use reliably with audacious 1.5, so he requested it's
removal[1] which actually happened on 12/13 May 2008. Thus, after all,
audacious-crossfade was never part of a stable Debian release.

I don't know what other distributions did to include this plugin. If
they found a way and somebody transfers their solution to Debian the
package might actually get resurrected. (NB: No, most probably I won't
be available to sponsor this, even though I have once maintained that
package myself.)


Cheers,
Flo

Hi, 

I am missing the audacious-crossfade plugin, after switching over from 
xmms. From the inet search I have an impression that audacious-crossfade 
has been a normal Debian package. 

But it no longer exist from the official site. Does it ever exist? What 
happened to it? Why Debian doesn't have this package, since other distros 
like RedHat, Ubuntu, etc all have it. 

Thanks
