New description:

 I downloaded and installed A-Player from http://www.polycode.dk/
 Launching it results in a deskbar entry, but the window doesn't show up.

 I had a look at the sourcecode, apparently A-Player is trying to load add-
 ons and Haiku's runtime loader doesn't look in the right folder.

 A-Player does something like load_add_on("somefile") while the file is
 actually located in "$(PROGDIR)/add-ons/somefile". Running A-Player by
 doing "cd add-ons ; ../APlayer" works fine. I think the runtime loader is
 not looking in this particular folder.
