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!
