Well you can use pianobar now. Just download the deb here and install it.

My PyQt4 app is nearly ready. The problem with this one is that it requires you to have python-qt4 packages installed which are non-optified and take up a good portion of the rootfs.

Bratag is also getting close with his C++ version that will not be hindered by that requirement. So you'll have this real soon .

I've applied for the ability to upload to extras-devel so I can get both these into that for people so they don't need to download deb files.
