It was the dawn of the third age of SID-kind, several years after the XMMS-BMP War. The Unified Audacious+XMMS-SID Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a SID-plugin which would be functional for both worlds, where Audacious and XMMS -related code could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home for coders, users, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning code, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the XMMS-SID releases. The year is 2008. The name of the place is XMMS-SID 0.8.0rc2.
