+Q: What about SIDPlay1 & 2 support? I saw some screenshots from 0.8beta
+   that had selectable support for v1 and v2 in the configuration!
+
+A: The runtime selection in betas 0-4 was based on patched libsidplay2
+   that changed the namespace to not to clash with libsidplay1. I don't
+   think it is worth of the trouble because a) it would break other apps
+   using libsidplay2 unless the patched version was statically linked to
+   XMMS-SID and b) I would have to manually create the patches for every
+   libsidplay2 update. Too much work, so it's not going to happen.
+
+   Only "feasible" (but also not worth of the trouble) way to achieve
+   runtime-selectable support would be to create a dynamic plugin-
+   architechture into XMMS-SID to on-demand load support for emulation
+   engine(s). I might do this if you are willing to pay 2000 EUR for it :-P
