These seem lots.

% osc whatdependson openSUSE:11.4 libmodplug standard i586
libmodplug :
   amarok
   bundle-lang-gnome
   bundle-lang-gnome-extras
   bundle-lang-kde
   gnome-dvb-daemon
   gstreamer-0_10-plugins-bad
   k3b
   kaffeine
   kdebase4
   kdebase4-runtime
   kdemultimedia4
   kipi-plugins
   opencv
   phonon-backend-xine
   vdr-plugin-xine
   xine-lib
   xine-ui
   xmms2

So, it's not too trivial to upgrade this without changing bunch of
packages.
