+ Bongo is a buffer-oriented media player for Emacs, contemporary with and
+ comparable to <pkg>app-emacs/emms</pkg>.
+
+ Notable features of Bongo include
+ * separate playlist and library buffers (each of which you may have any
+ number — even zero of both is okay if you don’t need playlist
+ functionality),
+ * hierarchical buffers with collapsable sections for each artist and album,
+ * familiar Emacs bindings for editing Bongo buffers (edit playlists much
+ like you would regular text),
+ * a nice visual seeking interface doubling as a progress meter (hit ‘s’),
+ * a visual audio volume control (<pkg>app-emacs/volume</pkg>, which is
+ actually a stand-alone package),
+ * built-in support for playing and retrieving information about audio CDs,
+ * built-in support for submitting information to Last.fm using
+ ‘lastfmsubmitd’,
+ * the ability to perform arbitrary actions (stopping playback is a simple
+ example) once playback reaches certain points in the playlist, using
+ so-called “action tracks”,
+ * an XMMS-like keymap for XMMS refugees,
+ * zero-configuration, out-of-the-box rock’n’roll action.
+
+ Bongo currently comes with backends for VLC, mpg321, ogg123, speexdec,
+ TiMidity and MikMod. All backends support pausing and resuming, but only VLC
+ and mpg321 support interactive seeking. Defining your own non-interactive
+ backends is very simple.
