What ever happened to X-amp? It had really cool interface (like the

I don't know about its performance or lightweight-ness, but I kind of
like Audacious, and while it uses GTK+ under-the-hood, it closely mimics
the classic XMMS, and is very simple in terms of UI design. (Although it
has the tendency to eat playlists if you play a lot of Internet radio,
but that's kind of minor.)
It has native PulseAudio output, and doesn't use GStreamer (AFAIK) if
you're in to that kind of stuff.
Rhythumbox on the other hand went AWOL just now nearly locking up
my machine which is some fan-dangled multi-core multi-Gigahertz
processor.
Considering Rhythmbox runs fine on Ubuntu 8.10 running on my 450MHz OLPC
XO-1 (well, once I dump PulseAudio),
How do you dump PulseAudio?
pulseaudio also causes problems with Kino so what does it do that is actually
useful?
While on the subject... my Ubuntu 8.10 occasionally loses sound completely and only a full restart
brings it back to life... VERY annoying. Is there some way to /etc/init.d/<alsa> restart?
Has this improved in Ubuntu 9?
I'd say there is something
seriously wrong with your setup.
