[Libvisual-devel] xmms plugin is not a libvisual plugin

[Duilio J. P. <dp...@fc...>]

Remember that libvisual is a middle layer between visualization
plugins and applications that want to "show something".

libvisual-xmms is a XMMS plugin, not a libvisual plugin.

But libvisual-xmms is linked against libvisual library, so
when it's loaded from within XMMS, libvisual-xmms in turn loads
all the available libvisual plugins, and start them work.

What you need to install is the libvisual-plugins package, which
contains various nice plugins (for libvisual). For now libvisual-gforce
is very unstable and under development, so thanks for your reports
about building problems, we will fix that soon.

Bye,
Duilio.
