This plasmoid for KDE 4.3 is based on my TextLaunch application launcher, but instead of launching applications it plays audio streams. It can also play audio files, compact discs, or any other media source phonon can handle.
I wrote this because I don't have a massive collection of mp3 files, I don't have an iPod to manage, and I just generally don't need 9/10 of what a big audio player like Amarok does. I listen to about 5-6 audio streams, sometimes while sleeping, and I wanted something that would let me switch streams or turn them off quickly and without a lot of clicking around (since I'm sometimes half asleep when I do it).
You may find novel uses for it, like a sound board or jukebox application. Feel free to request features, but let's not make this too bloated.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- WARNING: Upgrading from older versions WILL cause breakage. You'll need to remove and re-add the plugin after upgrade. Sorry, I can't help this unfortunately.
- The plugin initially wrought havoc with my audio, until I set my music output from ALSA to PulseAudio. YMMV, you know how audio can be.
TODO:
- Optional Transport control (Pause/FF/Rew) for playlists and CD.
- Drag + Drop? I'll have to think about this one.

I don't think phonon exposes this capability, though; at least, I couldn't find it.

As far as I know there is no requirement for pulseaudio. KliqTune talks to phonon, so if phonon is working you should have sound. If not, the trouble is elsewhere.

plasmoidviewer .
and it works fine in a window but if i try to add it to the desktop it shows me a box with:
Object could not be created...
Script initialization failed
strange as it works with above commands....

BTW, developer question: did you use phonon? just wondering.

In 0.4 the tooltip of the active button will show all the metadata (artist, song, etc). The code is already in place, just teasing out a few bugs before release.
I did indeed use phonon, it's quite easy and powerful as I've discovered.
