  That insult against Amarok is stronger than anything else I can think
of, and beautifully explains exactly what I find wrong with it.  Amarok
constitutes a replacement for xmms just like an 18-wheeler tractor-trailer
combo constitutes a replacement for a half-ton pickup truck.  If I
wanted xine, I would emerge xine-ui...

[m3000][root][~] emerge --ask xine-ui

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libcdio-0.77  USE="-cddb -minimal -nls -nocxx"
[ebuild  N    ] media-video/vcdimager-0.7.23  USE="-minimal -xml"
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.2-r2  USE="X a52 aac alsa dvd flac mng opengl sdl theora vcd vorbis win32codecs xv -aalib (-altivec) -arts -asf -debug -directfb -dts -dxr3 -esd -fbcon -gnome -imagemagick -ipv6 -libcaca -mad -modplug -nls -oss -samba -speex -v4l -vidix -xinerama -xvmc" VIDEO_CARDS="-i810 -nvidia -via"
[ebuild  N    ] media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r5  USE="X ncurses readline -aalib -curl -libcaca -lirc -nls -vdr"

  Not only do I not want to emerge xine-lib, I don't want to emerge ruby
and most of KDE, either.

  Much better, I'll try it.
