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 licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later. At runtime it is linked with LinEAK and XMMS, which are both distributed under the same license. There is no warranty; not even for merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. See the file COPYING or the GNU license page for more information.
