I have almost a ready package, i just now need a fine short description. The upstream author is not so happy about the FIFO controlled stuff, since it sounds as if using quark is difficult. The main advantages of quark are : o It does not clutter the desktop with a GUI. Thus the author claims it is anti-GUI, but i don't find that a very intuitive description. o It is composed of a backend and a frontend, and thus survive the killing of the current X session, which is rather nice. I was thinking of something along the lines of : Description: simple audio player which does not clutter the desktop But this still doesn't sound quite right, and doesn't mention the second advantage, which is a bit difficult to express in a simple phrase anyway.
