Sid player for Linux

As I am an user of Ubuntu based distro, I would like to know any app to play sid files. Which app do you recommend me? I wanted give a try Xsidplay2 but I can download just rpm package. Unfortunately I can not find deb pack...

I use jsidplay2 on Linux. Has a nice gui - but needs a lot of cpu-power.

I am surprised but I have noticed it works under Audacious but I must confess I can not rememeber if I installed a plugin for playing sids. Could it be possible it can play automatically without installing plugin?

About vsid. Unfortunately there is no possibility to run RANDR so I am not able to work with Vice at all. My notebook is VIA based and there are big issues with installing VIAChrome9 HC driver with RANDR enabled. So vsid won't work... :(

Greopaz: yes you are right I have installed libsidplay although I dont know if it came with audacious or I installed it when I was trying to solve this problem.

gpz: Looks like an updated gstreamer-plugin 'siddec' using sidplay2 would be needed?

Orcan: it depends on your distro... i think the "big" ones have it installed always (if you install something like xmms or audacious)
Ninja: something that uses the resid code from vice would be nice indeed ;) libsidplay2 is like 10 years old or something =P

Hmm, looks to me that a super-duper sidplayer should in deed be based on VICE; yet the first choice for a gstreamer plugin would be libsidplayfp these days.

It might not be for you, but for some reason i quite like the good old sidplay2w.exe for Windows. I've been using it for many years under Linux as well using Wine. Works for me.

/me thinks about wrapping the vice vsid player in a simple python wrapper that would display stuff... Hmm. Yes.

I have ubuntu packages for sidplayfp (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sidplay-residfp/) on one of my launchpad ppas - https://launchpad.net/~jools/+archive/ppa

With the new multi sid library support that I'm adding into XSidplay2 (it will be able to play libsidplay1, libsidplay2, libsidplayfp - with boot resid or resid-fp - by a user runtime selection) I'm looking if I can generate a static binary version of the program. In that case I will have a single binary that can run in about all recent Linux distribution, without the needing of library dependency.

Just attend to have a preliminary working version in 2012.
