Because I forget it otherwise, the author of the command-line-music-player herrie told me today why herrie doesn't play out of the box when you install it on Ubuntu. It's simply caused by pulseaudio. It can be fixed by recompiling the package, something that Ubuntu should have already done...

1. get yourself write access to /usr/src
2. apt-get install debhelper fakeroot dpkg-dev libid3tag0-dev libsndfile1-dev libspiff-dev libpulse-dev
3. apt-get source herrie
4. cd /usr/src/herrie-2.1
5. vi debian/rules
change in the config.status target
"./configure && touch config.status" into
"./configure pulse && touch config.status"
6. dpkg-buildpackage
7. sudo dpkg -i ../herrie_2.1-1_i386.dev

Now you should have a working herrie. Run it with herrie -x bla.mp3 or something. You can change windows with Tab, the 'a' key adds a file from the filewindow to the upper playlist window, and in the playlist window 'x' will start a song, 'c' will pause it. See the manpage.
