Not that the following justifies my response to this user, but I feel that I 
need to share my feelings a bit at this point:

I sometimes regret writing noatun and getting caught up in the aRts curse.  
Which not only is responsible for the overwhelming majority of the bugs.  
This alone wouldn't be the problem, but I get very little appreciation at all 
from any KDE developer, and I'm left with little reason to continue 
developing it.

I only continue to because there wouldn't be another developer to continue, 
and I wouldn't have something to listen to music with.
