+Introduction
+============
+The XMMS-SID plugin will work much better if you install the song
+position patch ("xmms-songpos.patch*") which makes it possible for
+the plugin to use the position slider to choose subtunes. 
+
+It also patches some other plugins (like MikMod plugin) for
+improved features. Additionally, the patch for XMMS 1.2.5
+has a dirty hack fix 
+
+Patching
+========
+Short instructions of patching XMMS for the uninitiated ;-)
+
+(Substitute the 1.2.5 version number with the appropriate version)
+
+1) Unpack the XMMS source distribution:
+
+	tar -xzvf xmms-1.2.5.tar.gz
+
+2) cd xmms-1.2.5
+
+3) Choose appropriate patch:
+   If you have XMMS version 1.2.0-1.2.3, choose patch version 1.2.2
+   With 1.2.4 and later, choose patch version 1.2.5!
+
+4) Patch the XMMS (with the selected patch file)
+
+   patch -p1 < /some/where/xmms-songpos.patch.1.2.5
+
+5) If the patch succeeded (no failures, no .rej files), you
+   can now compile and install the XMMS. (Read through XMMS
+   documentation how to do it if you don't already know)
+
+   If some part of the patch does not succeed, you may need
+   to fix it by hand. Or you could just not use the patch :)
+
+   (See the TODO-file for what I have planned to remedy this patch with!)
+
+
+NOTICE
+======
+If you patched and recompiled XMMS _after_ you had already used
+XMMS-SID, you need to re-compile XMMS-SID too to make it use the
+patch features!
