I emerged audacious last night.  I've been an xmms user since I started
using Linux back in 2003, so I wanted something xmms-like.  I like
audacious except for one tiny detail; the GUI window is tiny and I can't
seem to make it bigger.  Whenever I click the area that made xmms
bigger, it just tells me that DOUBLESIZE IS NOT SUPPORTED.  Will it be
in the future?
