That sounds good to me.   I will still like to continue to try to get 
the crossfades working too.  If you send yours in, and the port 
maintaner adds the diffs, then it will be called _4 on the ports tree, 
even though it has been "downgraded."

p.s. Please, don't take anything I say personal.  It is not personal, I 
am just a zealot when it comes to trying to get things to work on 
Linux/UNIX (because I hate having to rely on windows for multimedia apps).

The latest (1.7.5) works absolutely PERFECT (crossfades and all) on my 
slackware install.
