Yes, that is right. The project is more or less dead. It have been given =
over
to Heikki, that is the main developer of Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator =
at
http://zakalwe.virtuaalipalvelin.net/uade/

Heikki is very actively hacking on UADE, so I would guess XMP comes secon=
d.

I think XMP is a little different from other projects, as it plays tracke=
r
modules/music, and as far as I know (correct me if I am wrong =3D) ) ther=
e are
not being developed many new tracker editors. I woudl guess games and dem=
os
today use either compressed wave sounds or MIDI.

So, I don't think it is so bad, that XMP is dead. If my assumption is cor=
rect,
then are there a finite number of tracker formats, and XMP is surely clos=
e to
support them all.

XMP differs from other multi tracker players, as the replayers in XMP are=
 very
accurately. Reading the Change Log/NEWS is very interesting, as details a=
re
given about the sound quality improvements that have been made.

So I think porting it to GST would be exceeding useful.

I have been in the demo scene for 16 years, and I sure miss listening to =
those
modules =3D)
