if you just want a 'play this directory' player (like I do), audacious 
is a fork of xmms.  I'm not sure of it's transcoding abilities

I'll never understand going from 'play this directory' (xmms) to 'we 
need a full client/server paradigm for playing audio' (xmms2).  I get 
the idea of a whole-house playback system, but it seems you could have 
made xmms the front-end to xmms2-server (or whatever) /rant
