XMMS has been deprecated across a few distributions over time, I think 
Gentoo might have done that more than a year ago even. However, Beep 
Media Player is a GTK2 port of XMMS, and I think Audacity is a port of Beep.

That being said, I don't recall using a version of Amarok that didn't 
support queueing so maybe you'd like to revisit that?
