AOL axes Nullsoft - whither Winamp, Shoutcast?

Actually, I find this kinda hopeful: when M$ stopped further developement on Internet Explorer, it gave the Mozilla Foundation the opening it needed to challenge the Evil Empire. This could have the same effect in the media player space, especially for streaming servers. We'll see.

AOL split itself into four this week, and one of the casualties is the team that provided its musical credibility. And of course, we don't mean Spinner.com. After hemorrhaging employees for months, only three Nullsoft employees are left after the shake-up.
