Sound herd will have an overlay as soon as we elect a new leader and put
xmms there. This is a solution that prevents users to turn their back
from us. So xmms will only be used in special cases when someone looks
to play something other players don't play. 
We will keep the future in mind like "we need to inovate" and put xmms2
in the tree.
