gxine and music player

[Adam Miller]

fair enough, very good reasons for not making it default. It didn't occur to
me about the codecs or the branch in which the dependencies had been placed,
sorry bout that one. Anyone know of any conversation out in the universe (no
pun intended) concidering a port of the code over to gtk2+? and/or moving
the codecs to open source/freely distributable ones? ... just curious, i
might be chacing a goose on this one.
