Great, I'll let you know when I put it online. If you like I could send 
you an early version, let me know off list if you're interested.

FYI there are also at least two other MP3+G players for Linux:

Plarpebu (http://sourceforge.net/projects/plarpebu)
CDG123 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdg123)

I tried CDG123 out a few months ago - it has a basic plugin for XMMS but 
when I tried it the graphics didn't sync with the audio, and the window 
was tiny and unresizable. I just checked the link and apparently they've 
fixed the syncing problems.

Is anyone else interested in an MP3+G codec for Xine ?
