Hi, ...

I indeed used to maintain quark, which is a neat little sound player,
based on libxine.

But, given the way i was handled recently, and the fact that a vocal
minority of DDs who believe themselves of being the ones that count in
debian (direct DPL quote), i would much appreciate if someone could make
an NMU of this package implementing, or even become co-maintainer, at
least until debian comes to his sense and leaves this fascist ways ofg
repression and censorship just because a vocal minority is unable to
communicate or accept any kind of conciliation which don't give them the
full reason.

Thanks for your work on xine, it is a great package, but i hope you
understand my position too.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
