I currently favor "gqmpeg", which is just a front end for the command line
"mpg123". It's primitive, but it support playlists, and skipping around in
the recording via a slider. Support for "ogg" files was added recently.
I suspect it would be fairly easy to add support for any format that has a
command line player.

For mp3, there's also "madplay", "mplayer", "trplayer", and "xmms". Lately,
I've come across mp3s that sound terribly scratchy under "xmms", but sound
fine under "mpg123". "gqmpeg", however, sometimes gets an odd flutter that
goes away after you pause and resume.
