I have some files that XMMS plays fine but makes Audacious hang.  I've
not traced it further than that since I found third party XMMS repos.  I
probably should, and then provide a patch for Audacious.

I agree about XMMS. But then Debian took it away so i tried switching to

XMMS2. But since XMMS2 sucks, i had to look for something else. Now i 
use audacious, which is a fork-of-a-fork of XMMS. It seems to work 
about the same, though i had to adjust some of the scripts i'd written 
and bound to my window manager's keyboard shortcuts (for things like 
pausing the music when the screensaver activates, or un/pausing when i 
hit logo-p).
