Jeez, I have felt a damn huge wave of nostalgia just now. Time to get my
Mindcandy DVD out of the shelf and watch side B again!

Any reasons not to use libmikmod and improve the backend in that lib,
instead, focusing in porting just the Cubic Player UI?

The short player does say "music file", so presumably it is audio.
However: what kind of audio? which formats?

For the ITP, but probably not for the description: it might also be good
to justify why Debian needs yet another music player packaged. We have
many of them already. If this one does something the others don't, then
mentioning that would be good.

Some of the answers were, I think, already given in this thread, but
spelling them out to thick-headed people like me in the ITP bug report
(the number of which I don't know) would be good.

Hehe true, actually there is graphics mode where it plays an animation
of a cube that rotates. I have changed the long description to

This is a port of the Open Cubic Player to Linux from DOS. Provides
a nice textbased frontend, with some few optional features in graphical.
Plays modules, sids, wave, audio CD, mp3 and ogg.
