The blinken_xmms is a spectrum analyzer plugin for the multimedia player XMMS. It sends UDP packets to a configurable IP address in EBLP containing 8x18 pixels. The output can be redirected using lldrv to a BlinkenLEDsPro, for example.

The source code for the XMMS plugin has been created with the help of Workshop: Vis-Plugins in XMMS and XMMS Plugin tutorial at nobugs.org. Further, the information about EBLP were helpful. The computational kernel for the visualization is taken from the [1] plugins.

Now with grayscales and config GUI!
