XMMS with vorbisgain patch

[zoltar]

I'd really like to see a new XMMS build in gentoo that includes the patch to enable the processing of vorbisgain information to level out the volume of ogg files. If I were to make the ebuild, is it allowable for a lowly user like me to submit to the portage tree? Or should I just make the request and hope somebody takes on the task? Would the gentoo servers host the patch file?

This feature is supposed to be in XMMS 1.2.8 but I don't see any activity whatsoever on the project and doubt I'll see 1.2.8 in the near future. Anybody know what's going on with XMMS?

Thanks

Curtis
