Hello!
What module is required for the Exaile to play the tracker music files? Where can I get it?
Thank you!

I've found those related gstreamer bug reports:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18708
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614361

Are you on i486 or x86_64?
Could you try to play the files with gstreamer command line tool? Something like gst-launch-0.10 -v playbin uri=file:///home/francisco/Music/Mods/KNGDMSKY.XM

Thank you for taking the cause!
Salix 13.1.2 i486.

I found the solution:
1. Remove "gst-plugins-bad".
2. Install "libmodplug".
3. Compile "gst-plugins-bad" from source code.
