FWIW, mplayer is the only usable backend for me at the moment.

The speakers in my flat are connected to a PulseAudio server, and
the other computers play music remotely via esd.

VLC's support for esd just doesn't work for me, I never managed to
make it use a remote esd server even though everything appears to be
configured properly.

mpg123 works just fine with esd output, and supports elapsed/total
time reporting, and (now) pausing.

ogg123 works with esd too, but doesn't have elapsed/total time info,
which makes it somewhat useless.

mplayer supports everything, including esd output.
