gst123 is a command line media player for linux/unix, implemented in C++. It is distributed under the LGPL2 or later license.
The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line player in the spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It plays all file formats gstreamer supports, so if you have a music collection which contains different file formats, like flac, ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all your music files.
All video file formats gstreamer can play are also available.
