To quote P.V. himself:

Quote:
xap/xmms-1.2.10-i486-3.tgz: XMMS developers: THANK YOU for your years of
dedication. We look forward to considering a new GTK+2 based design some
time in the future. (Package removed).

Well I found it too with a reply as well

No, thank YOU for keeping a clean and tidy version of XMMS around without a gazillion insane patches. We will always love you! It's unlikely we will cross paths again, but we've enjoyed the lack of support cases the Slackware distribution has caused us. Much love <3 <3 <3.

Seems like audacious has took xmms place, Looks like same thing except the is no add folder in it, or I missed something.

Thx

You can always download the xmms source and slackbuild from a slackware-11.0 mirror, and build it for Slackware 12.0

Where to find a slackbuild script for this?

I don't see it in slack 11.

But gtk1 comes with 12.0, too. I grabbed the source and buildscript for 11.0, and it compiled without any problems.

Thumbs up
Thanks, Ilgar - I installed gtk 1 and the xmms I made, it works perfectly.
gtk 1 is also in the slack 12 dvd.
