Just my 2 cents ... CL-Amp 3.71 works on Haiku .

There are ways to control it remotely (see for example my javascript and
python http://www.bebits.com/app/4551)

You can listen to Shoutcast streams.

It has a nice plug-in developer kit (I used it to write a Cover Art plugin:
http://haikuware.com/remository/view-details/multimedia/audio/playback/cover-art-display-plugin-for-cl-amp)
{not working on later Haiku's - I have to debug},

It can also convert Shoutcast streams to .wav files on the fly.  There are
some digital effects still available, and on BeOS I was able to use cortex
to add VST plugins.

I wouldn't mind also trying to get this open-sourced.
