Is it your project ?
Err, what do you mean? It's another music player, no, not my project, I have got nothing to do with it's code.

Songbird can give Amarok a run for its money, if only it could have been easy on resources. It seems a product from Norton :D

QuodLibet, MPD, Xfce-MPD-Plugin, Amarok2.

But I still prefer VLC Media Player as my universal audio player.

There are many who questions the audio quality of VLC.
