The 1.2.10 release that is in Fedora is from February, 2004. Even during
the 1.2 series, development has stalled already and lead to forks like
XMMS2, BMP, BMP2, Audacious and so on.  Just recently, XMMS 1.2.11 was
released. Quote: "1211 days ago we released 1.2.10, so what better day to
release 1.2.11?"

Amarok is an entirely different concept.
