[LAU] OSC-controllable lightweight soundplayer for linux?

[andersvi at notam02.no]

Hello.

Im looking for ways to control basic audio-playback from within an
application here.  Need just simple things like 'load file', 'play',
'pause'/'unpause', 'stop', perhaps 'seek s.'

I know about the various -daemon and -input modes for alsaplayer and
mplayer, which is a good plan-B or C - but want to look for OSC-support
first.

Q: does any of the standard mediaplayers (aplay, mplayer, alsaplayer,
sox/play, banshee, amarok, totem, rhythmbox,xmms....) support
OSC-control?

Im looking for something very light-weight, fast ("instant") start-up
and play.  Ideally it would be a player already packaged in the standard
distributions.

I can probably use a "daemon-mode" player, but need to have separate
access to several instances without too much fuzz.

Thanks for all relevant suggestions.
