It has eSound, OSS, and disk writer support for outputting sound.
.
It looks almost the same as famous Winamp, and includes those neat
features like general purpose, visualization and effect plug-ins,
several of which come bundled, then spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope,
skins support, and of course, a playlist window.
