I know F10 has audacious 1.5.1. What I do not see are the non-free plugins
for it.
I only found audacious-plugins-freeworld  1.4.5

I am running F10 on another computer I use when I do not need video
performance.
Unfortunately, F10 still has some nasty video issues for my hardware (a
brand new Intel mobo).

On the contrary. Depending on the occasion I change the player.
If I want to play music for hours, I use rhythmbox with shuffle on.
xmms is nice for playing just a single CD, or some mp3 files someone has
just given me.
Furthermore, audacious also has to be patched for playing mid files, another
thing I need.
If I remember well, an audacious developer showed me the fix during an irc
session.
