Try it on a playlist of about 1000 MP3s, listen to it for about 3-5 days and wonder why the same songs get played over and over again. I think random() or rand() is the problem. I changed the XMMS source to use arc4random() and that gives a real shuffle mode. However since this plugin exists, I think that's the way to go.
