LinEAK XMMS plugin
Introduction
This is a plugin for LinEAK to control XMMS. It communicates with XMMS over a socket by using its library, which is much faster than using its command-line interface, because that spawns a process for each command.
The current version of the plugin is 0.9.1 for use with LinEAK 0.9 and XMMS 1.2.11.
License
The plugin is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or any later version. At runtime it is linked with LinEAK and XMMS, which are also both distributed under the GPL. It is provided in the hope that it will be useful, but with absolutely no warranty.

| XMMS_FORWARD and XMMS_BACK | Skip forward and back within the current track by 15 seconds by default, or by the number of seconds given as an argument. |
