 But our users seem to miss it, it broke dependencies of qmmp and xine-lib.

 I know you've orphaned the EPEL branches a few years ago, however, I'd like
 to ask you to reconsider the decision. RHEL based desktop is still not dead

I may reconsider that when/if I sometime start to use an EL based
system that has some kind of use for or sensible means for audio
output. But that time is not now, so I'm afraid it's a no thanks
from me at the moment, someone else should look into it.

What would be a sensible means of audio output?

Audio hardware, speakers, something like that. Anyway none of the EL
boxes I use have anything that I could even effortlessly test
libmodplug with. And even if I could, I wouldn't sign up for
maintaining something I don't actually use, that kind of maintenance
is not what I want from EL distros/packages. This is exactly why I
stopped maintaining EL libmodplug years ago, and nothing has really
changed since. The package needs a maintainer who actually eats his
own dog food at least to some extent.
