Well, from my quick run through the debianinized ones (gmod, s3mod, xmp)
they all are *really* bad. I easially detected several errors in the
playback on each player and the gus support is umm.. very very clicky
overall :< They don't even have semi-passable console support..
That's what got me started, linux should have a good mod player!

It's an OS/2 player called Muse/2. It supports,
xm/mod/s3m/it/ult/669/wow/far/mtm/it2 and was designed from the start to
run under multi-tasking os's like Linux and Os/2. I figure it could take a
few weeks tops to port over with gus only support.
