mpg123 is still maintained upstream and also faster, in case somebody
runs this on a really, really slow machine. All our archs support
floating point, so there is no reason to use the fixed-point libmad
for MP3 decoding.

X-platform Music Multiplexing System 2 is a client-server audio player.
Client-server model allows XMMS2 to have various multiple (remote)
interfaces (as clients):
* Command line interfaces
* GTK clients (matching GNOME & Xfce4 look and feel)
* KDE clients (matching KDE look and feel)
It has a wide format support and can play over different media.
It comes with Medialib, a database-driven media library which stores
metadata about songs as they're played, so songs can be quickly recalled
and new playlists easily made. The media library can be easily queried
and managed using Collections.
