Pardon my ignorance, but how is a GTK+ player, that supports searching,
cover display and whatnot simpler and faster than gst123 ~/Music/* ?

What makes it faster than any other gstreamer-based audioplayer? Or
simpler than any of the other similar software? (Of which, we have
plenty of packaged already)

Based on the description, I found nothing that would make it more
interesting than some of the things we already have packaged. How is it
different from decibel audio player, of which pogo is a fork of?
