The combination of gnome-mplayer as a multimedia player for everything and xmms2 + lxmusic for music management would be the best combination for the future. 
If xmms2 and lxmusic won't become stable or good enough, we can always stick to aqualung. 
As we are creating an LXDE based Distribution we should stick to something developed by the LXDE guys, because this will help them to improve there apps. (more testers -> more bug reports -> better software). So lxmusic should be definitely be in.
