winamp

[Alex Snow]

Theres also a gui frontend built into mplayer called mplayergui I 
think, you have to enable it during the configure process I just 
forget the exact option you pass to the configure script, though I 
think its something like --with-gui.  Its written in gtk iirc, though 
don't know if its at all accessible.

Now, it we had this sort of thing:
  yield -a     for yield to all traffic
  yield -t     for yield to trucks
  yield -f     for yield to people walking (yield foot)
  yield -d t*  for yield on days starting with t

...you'd have a lot of dead people at intersections, and traffic jams you
wouldn't believe...
