Hello guys,

I noticed LXmusic is in the Ubuntu lucid repo´s, I installed it on my
Ubuntu lucid desktop and after choosing an output plugin (default is
none for some reason) in the settings menu it nicely played my mp3´s and
possibly also other files.
Will the next Lubuntu (Maverick) use LXmusic instead of Aqualung (which
uses a lot more dependencies) and possibly other applications like
LXtask instead of Xfce-taskmanager as default?
Also we should take a look at Parole, a XFCE media player, since it has
25 dependencies and Mplayer has 49.
The PPA is here:

https://launchpad.net/~stemp/+archive/xfce

It plays ogv, wmv and probably many other files without a problem.
Most of the dependencies of Parole will already be used in Xfburn I think.

Also what about replacing Chromium by Epiphany?
Epiphany has only about 7 dependencies more but it is much more
lightweight and I read on the Dutch Ubuntu forums it uses about 30 to 40
mb less on an old pc with Lubuntu installed.
This really can make the difference between slow and fast on an old
computer. It probably will be a big project but what about the
LXDE/Lubuntu team forking Epiphany and creating something like LXbrowser
to avoid any gnome dependencies?


Don´t think I am some weird guy bashing things in the mailing list, I
have been following the LXDE, XFCE, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu projects
for a long time and I know what I am talking about.
I am also a member of the Lubuntu team as a translator, since the
translation for Lubuntu to my language is sometimes poor and incomplete. :)
