XMMS works well for what it does, is lightweight by today's standards,
and has survived most of its sucessors.  The only alternative is
Audacious, which has much heavier dependencies.  Oh, and XMMS can
play audio CDs.  This is broken in Audacious, but apparently nobody
cares.  I guess Audacious is unmaintained and should be deleted.

There seems to be the general problem, seen again and again, that
users only learn of a port's deprecation status when it is finally
removed and not in the preceding grace period.
