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!

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