CDindex and Xmms

Oh! I just realized that I wasn't subscribed to the cdindex mailing
list (I've sent a subscription request now). Imagine my surpise when
I just checked the mail archives and found that there were lots of
followups to my previous postings.

Anyway, the weekend after my last posting, I went offline for a few
days. This made me sort of bored, so I started to implement CDindex
support in Xmms. Most things actually seemed to work fine (generating
SHA and parsing the XML output (I had a sample file stored)). The
contacting server stuff obviously had to be left out till I got online
though. When I got online again however, I became involved in all
these other nifty projects. My code has as such been lying for sleep
the last one and a half week. (In the meantime, the Xmms guys got
ahead of me and released a new version of Xmms. What a shame, I'll
try to include the cdindex support in the next official release.)

I thought that I would start implementing the cdindex server
communication today. No such luck however (I seem to be unable to
reach www.cdindex.org today, or indeed any freeamp host). I'll see if
I can manage to give it a try tomorrow.

BTW, I used the gnome-xml for parsing the XML doc, and I must say that
I found it very pleasant to use. My warmest recommendations for
anyone thinking of doing anything XML related.
