Mmmhh, man 7 juke # juke(7) man 7 playlistfs # playlistfs(7) I have not yet looked deeply enough into those, but as far as I recall, you create a decoder for each file-type as an external program. I have no idea how things like fast-forward/backward work, for instance (pause, etc). And I have no idea how I easily create playlists. It's shell magic for mplayer, and GUIs using mplayer may also provide ways - as I read the manpages, I am supposed to write maps myself. :-( Supposed those things are easily done, 'porting mplayer' becomes 'port the codecs, create a decoder for each of those'. At least for the audio-part. But imho it works for video, too. Speaking of those manpages, what is audio(7)? I don't have that manpage.
