Most of the gstreamer audio players works just like xine-lib based.

Yes you are right but atm xmms is obsolete and there is place for
another player. Xmms2 is a good player that needs of course ages of
development to be able to be like xmms.
Neither i or sound herd want to maintain xmms anymore. If there is
anyone that will take it we won't mind. But we won't waste more time on
a player that is obsolete with a dead upstream. So we would like to move
xmms to overlays.gentoo.org soon with another maintainer to take care of
it.
