DUMB is a module audio renderer library. It reads module files and outputs
audio that can be dumped to the actual audio playback library.
This is a fork of the original dumb by Ben Davis.
Enlightened Sound Daemon was one of the earlier solutions to the old
"multiple programs can't open /dev/audio at once" problem that was once
a thing we had to worry about.
Eventually, it was adopted as part of GNOME. GNOME lost interest in it
about a decade ago and dropped it in favour of PulseAudio, newer
applications are generally uninterested in supporting it. Last release
was in 2008 and support for newer OS APIs is pretty nonexistent.
Several years ago the original website disappeared.

Upstream vanished some time ago (2008?) and this is forever stuck on the
unmaintained and now somewhat broken 0.10 branch of GStreamer.
This is also nearly unique to pkgsrc at this point in its existence.
PKGREVISION= 80
Upstream vanished some time ago and this is forever stuck on the

Apparently this is also unique to pkgsrc at this point in its existence.
PKGREVISION= 28
This library is dead upstream, used by nothing in pkgsrc.
Readily available alternatives to the included example player include mpg123,
flac123, ogg123 (part of vorbis-tools package), mpc, ffplay, etc.
It's hard to find evidence of this existing in other package repositories.
It was formerly part of KDE 3 (used by kde-multimedia 3) and the last release
was in 2007. The original website disappeared at some point in 2010.
This documentation is nearly 20 years out of date.
Current documentation is available on the festival website but is
no longer distributed as a separate distfile along with the software.

qmmp is an audio player. The default user interface is similar to Winamp/XMMP.
An alternative user interface based on a standard widget set is also available.
Quod Libet is a music management program. It provides several different ways
to view your audio library, as well as support for Internet radio and audio
feeds. It has extremely flexible metadata tag editing and searching
capabilities.
Ex Falso is a tag editor with the same tag editing interface as Quod Libet.
An MPD (Music Player Daemon) client library written in pure Python.
python-mpd2 is a fork of python-mpd. While 0.4.x was backwards compatible
with python-mpd, starting with 0.5 provides enhanced features which are NOT
backward compatibles with the original python-mpd package.
GStreamer is a library that allows the construction of graphs of
media-handling components, ranging from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback to
complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.
Applications can take advantage of advances in codec and filter technology
transparently. Developers can add new codecs and filters by writing a
simple plugin with a clean, generic interface.
GStreamer is released under the LGPL.
This package is part of the 'bad' plugins for GStreamer. It provides the
game-music-emu plugin, which allows decoding audio for assorted video game
console hardware.
As far as I can tell, no package is using this. They are all using
audio/openal-soft instead.
Brief history of OpenAL: This is the original reference implementation,
developed by Loki Software and Creative Labs. This was eventually made
proprietary, the open source version packaged here was discontinued, and
OpenAL-Soft was developed as a replacement. This package has pointed
to gentoo distfiles for about 10 years since the original distfiles
disappeared.
We've apparently been planning this since 2016 but nobody got around to it:
