Good evening,

Please note that beep-media-player and accompanying plugin packages have
been removed from the portage tree on March 5, 2006. This had been
announced on the gentoo-dev & sound mailing lists prior to it being
masked on February 18, 2006.
This software has been abandoned by it's authors since October 2005.

Note that a currently active fork exists (Audacious), which has absorbed
the necessary functionality to play all formats that BMP would have
needed a plugin for. The 0.1.2 release of Audacious has the same
stable keywords that beep-media-player has, and should prove to be an
effortless upgrade. For anyone running ~arch, release 0.2.2 is available.
Audacious is the recommended upgrade path from beep-media-player.
Most, if not all the bmp plugins available in portage have already been
absorbed into this program.

Regards,
Tony (Chainsaw)
