Hi,

Thanks for cc'ing the Debian Multimedia Maintainers list, I guess there 
might be some folks interested in backporting Audacious there.

I see your point, waiting for 2.5 could make sense, but in my view 2.4 
is already a big improvement over 2.3 and has the advantage of being 
already in testing, ready to be backported.

So, if anyone's interested, please raise your hand, having 2.4 in 
Squeeze would be great!

Thanks,
