Came across it when I was trying to find a mp3 player that did software
gain control.  It was the *only* one I found that does it.  Everything
else can only adjust the gain on the soundcard, which isn't what I needed
-- I wanted to decrease the volume of my MP3s, so I could hear speech
syntheses from speech.irc/speechd/festival.  

Don't think I ever actually used it (one of the creators told me how to
increase festival's volume), but it looked extreemly neat.  It was lacking
something when I first found it -- it was really new then, whatever it was
has probably been added since.  It has both a GUI & CLI.  I seriously
doubt you'll find many, if any, others that have both.  There are Debian &
RedHat packages (listed on freshmeat).

It just struck me like "hey, this is how I wanted to do it".  

Let me know what you think.

Thank you for the context :)
