Lucy wanted some help with a few of her games. After she'd got that, Xan
summoned her (woke up and cried) so I decided to see if Mandrake 7.1 had
added anything to XMMS while I was there. They had. Indeed they had! The
screenshots are very bizarre.

First pciture: the OpenGL spectrum analyser is rotating smoothly as it
jumps about; one axis is time, the other is frequency and height is
intensity. The snail-looking thing is XMMS as seen through a control
plugin. In the background is an xiterm window editing the source to scp.

Second picture: the green scrapyard refugee is the control plugin, plus
the standard XMMS window is still up - but with speakers attached (they
vibe to the music). The display plugin has a wildly coloured scope trace
across the middle of it, with a melty-looking interpretation of the
scope trace (not just persistence) flowing "towards" you from the
center. In background, licq client and Netscape.

Not shown: other very bizarre control windows and cool-looking display
plugins.
