Broader question: does xbmc milkdrop keep up with the upstream in general ?

Ah, quite probably... I'll have to look into it further... I was looking at putting together a pack of newer presets (the latest one I could find is 2005).

Would it be difficult/impossible to port milkdrop 2 to xbmc ?

I might have a look at compiling xbmc in the next few days, in the meantime I'll see if I can find out what milkdrop 2 provides that the older one doesn't.

Quite, since there are no sources for it. And if you mean linuxport/OpenGL branch there's also the obstacle that MilkDrop is DirectX

Yep, just noticed this... guess I need to learn more about milkdrop features..

If I do get to the point of adding extra features, would it make more sense to look at projectM, as this is probably "more" open source, at least in the way that the open source milkdrop won't go beyond 1.x for the foreseeable future ?
