XMMS2 is a redesign of the XMMS music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple (even simultaneous!) user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plug-ins. On top of this, there is a flexible media library to organize your music.

This package enables avcodec decoding for XMMS2. Together with xmms2-plugin-asf it's possible to decode .wma files. Combined with xmms2-plugin-mp4 you can decode .mp4 files.
