.SH BUGS
The xmms remote controlling library provides no good way of detecting changes
in the playlist, and therefore
.B audtty
might need to be told to reload the playlist if songs are moved. Do so by
pressing
.RB \| L \|.
If the length of the playlist changes,
.B audtty
will assume the playlist has changed and reload the entire playlist to make
sure it is correct.

Probably lots more.
