Audacious is a free software media player for POSIX systems, such as Linux. Audacious implements many of its features through plugins. On most systems, a useful set of plugins is installed with Audacious by default, providing the ability to play MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC files, among others. Audacious began as a fork of Beep Media Player 0.9.7.1, itself a fork of XMMS. William "nenolod" Pitcock decided to fork Beep Media Player after the original development team announced that they were stopping development in order to create a next-generation version, BMPx. According to the Audacious home page, Pitcock and others "had [their] own ideas about how a player should be designed, which [they] wanted to try in a production environment."
