I am building a GTK2 based mp3 player in perl. I have the gui built already but I've been racking my brain on how to play the mp3's. I tried Audio::Play::MPG123 and Gtk2->main_iteration() but mpg123 kept locking up. Also, I'd much rather not use an outside program like mpg123 to play the mp3's. What would be the best approach for playing mp3's (with quality sound)?

I don't know if gstreamer has perl bindings, but if it has you can use those.

Hrm, Looking at gstreamer I thought it had
insane gnome deps..guess not. The perl
bindings are still in development and
not released yet.
