I don't know about its performance or lightweight-ness, but I kind of like Audacious, and while it uses GTK+ under-the-hood, it closely mimics the classic XMMS, and is very simple in terms of UI design. (Although it has the tendency to eat playlists if you play a lot of Internet radio, but that's kind of minor.) It has native PulseAudio output, and doesn't use GStreamer (AFAIK) if you're in to that kind of stuff. > Rhythumbox on the other hand went AWOL just now nearly locking up > my machine which is some fan-dangled multi-core multi-Gigahertz > processor. Considering Rhythmbox runs fine on Ubuntu 8.10 running on my 450MHz OLPC XO-1 (well, once I dump PulseAudio), I'd say there is something seriously wrong with your setup.
