Yes, that is right. The project is more or less dead. It have been given over
to Heikki, that is the main developer of Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator at
http://zakalwe.virtuaalipalvelin.net/uade/

Heikki is very actively hacking on UADE, so I would guess XMP comes second.

I think XMP is a little different from other projects, as it plays tracker
modules/music, and as far as I know (correct me if I am wrong =) ) there are
not being developed many new tracker editors. I woudl guess games and demos
today use either compressed wave sounds or MIDI.

So, I don't think it is so bad, that XMP is dead. If my assumption is correct,
then are there a finite number of tracker formats, and XMP is surely close to
support them all.

XMP differs from other multi tracker players, as the replayers in XMP are very
accurately. Reading the Change Log/NEWS is very interesting, as details are
given about the sound quality improvements that have been made.

So I think porting it to GST would be exceeding useful.

I have been in the demo scene for 16 years, and I sure miss listening to those
modules =)
