I agree.

Hum, I may be wrong, but haven't you tried already to implement a xmms
plugin ? I know you have posted something into this ML yet but can't
remember when and what you were talkin' about.

Oh I guess this was that: an effect plugin.

This is a good idea but why not to do a cda support directly implemented
into the vlc code ? I think this is not too difficult to add this
feature but it depends on the way we wanna do it.

On the other part, If I wanted to add cda support, it was to, finally,
get rid of all the other multimedia programs. My wish was to replace the
whole set of multimedia software with vlc not to give concurence another
plugin that would lead to exclusive superiority of this software (even
if it is a good piece of software).
So ...
