Well,

There's ways to do (hacks) if you override the maemo media manager, but we are helping them improve instead of creating the hacks : / But we agree with you... and xmmp does the gapless with no problems

That's the point: we don't want to create a new media manager api for maemo, instead we want to improve the existing one, but it takes more time as it is a official api but we believe the devs there (we know all of them, and some of our guys were working there in the media team this year)
