Chris, I think you were misreading my reply. I know very well why xmms
is not in testing: because it was removed from the distro! Only stable
is carrying it now.

I asked Hugo to show his 'apt-cache policy xmms' because this could shed
some light on why he still sees it in unstable. I'm guessing some
unofficial repo.

Regards,
Andrei

IIRC Debian has phased out gtk 1 and with it XMMS.
