looking for a cli audio visualizer from moc or alsa output.

i'm looking for a simple cli-based audio visualiser that takes output from alsa or moc.

it should be light on resources (projectm looks silly and dated), even a graphic equaliser using terminal colours would do fine.

ncmpcpp has a visualizer...

i don't use ncmpcpp.

It's not difficult, and it has a visualizer... ;-)

alsaequal?

i meant a visual display similar to this, i should have been more clear.

i'm sure it isn't, and i'm sure it does. i use moc because it suits my needs far better, not because i think ncmpcpp is too hard.

i started looking for pretty much the same - since people say terminal or console or cli i did not find this thread at first.

it seems to be generally difficult to implement _standalone_ audio visualisers without using pulse or jack.
