Hi Soren,

Did you try the deb or sources I created and which can be found on 
www.prodeia.de/mms ?
Why simple enough?

We just need to create some separate packages ... I could imagine 
building 'mms-common' and some 'mms-desired-output' as MMS is able to deal 
with various outputs (f.i. SDL, DXR3, FF-DVB).

And why do we need a separate user? It won't run as daemon so it should be 
fine running without creating a user ... !?

Could you tell me about the needed steps to get it into debian/buntu?

It by far seems to be a problem on this list to deal with transparency,  
particiption and cooperation ... or is that just my feeling?
