About fische
The Idea
Fische is a standalone sound visualisation program for Linux based on SDL and alsa libraries. Since v3.1.0 fische also supports PulseAudio.
It is released as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
update: Fische has recently been extended to support OS-X and Windows Operating Systems.
Standalone?
Yes. Fische is not a plugin. It will accept any sounds from anywhere. Music players, TV, a microphone - you name it.
Status
Fische has recently been rewritten from scratch for the second time. It is expected to be stable, portable, and fully functional.

Man Page
Where can i find a manual? the man-page isn't informative.
Re: Man Page
Please consult the README in the source tarball or as installed (/usr/share/doc/fische/README on debian based systems)
The README version in fische-3.0.4 is a lot more informative and includes troubleshooting information.
Re: Man Page
A useful man page has finally been included in v3.1.1
OSS Support
I am hoping for other developers to write OSS/jack/PulseAudio/... code. Implementation would be relatively easy for experienced sound programmers.
Take a look at
alsa-samples.cppin the source code - it's only 134 lines long.OSS v4
Hello. This project looks interesting, but only supports ALSA. Any chance of using a sound API that isn't specific to ALSA? OSS v4 is open source and works very well on many soundcards that have issues with ALSA.
