Re: Uninstalling programs
pacman -R <program name> perhaps? 'man pacman' might be a helpful read.

Re: Uninstalling programs
Use pacman:
# pacman -R pkgname
Useful switch: -c -s
Read the pacman man pages for their descriptions and other info about pacman.

Re: Uninstalling programs
I asked because I attempted to uninstall audacious using #pacman -R audacious and it didn't work.
Ok, here's another question.
Which package contains extra plugins for xine?

No.
I think what that did was get rid of the metapackage. I just did #pacman -R audacious-base and it was uninstalled.
