OK guys, where is alsaplayer hiding? |

xine ==> almost as bloated as Windows Media Player. I want a simple |
| 16 |
*AUDIO PLAYER* dammit, not some honking big "multi-media" package that |
| 17 |
takes forever to build. I've had problems building xine, and swear by |
| 18 |
mplayer. I'd sooner use mplayer than xine. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
amarok ==> Even worse than xine. It's a Windows Media Player wannabee |
| 21 |
bloated frontend that ends up launching xine. In addition to building |
| 22 |
xinelib, it also builds kde-base, ruby, and a bunch of other junk. |
