Related is the removal of XMMS, which the Central Committee of Free Software - whoever they are - has decided is outdated, despite remaining one of the best and most simple, yet versatile and very low resource using players around. However, there is a repo that offers XMMS and its gtk1.2 dependencies:

I just did this in Lucid Live-CD:

Installed the following packages:
libglib1.2ldbl (1.2.10-19build1)
libgtk1.2 (1.2.10-18.1build2)
libgtk1.2-common (1.2.10-18.1build2)
libmikmod2 (3.1.11-a-6.1)
xmms (1.2.11-1)

... using the Karmic entry here:

This might also work for other apps - XMMS works in Lucid Live-CD with all the settings and plugins simply copied from an old system - see also: http://colonos.wordpress.com/?s=xmms
