Change the description of the Multimedia forum?

hackerError

Since XMMS is getting masked in portage should it be removed from the description of this forum? Just wondering. It's still valid to ask about it here, but if gentoo isn't encouraging it's use, maybe we shouldn't have it's name so that gentooers will see it and want to use it, when there are other options now available that arent masked.

edit by nixnut: changed topic title to reflect the move to GFF

Agreed, that would be kind of ironic. I suppose we could simply replace xmms with audacious?

xmms was referenced primarily because it was sort of a defacto standard that would be immediately recognizeable to the reader (even those that didn't use it).

Oops, seems we forgot about that - i've removed xmms and added "amaraok, audacious, " to the description since both are pretty well known. IMHO of course, feel free to change it if you disagree.
