Isn't it a character from Nintendo Mario Bros?

Not quite, but you're still very close so I'll send you a private message with the answer. Can't ruin the wonderful air of mystery surrounding my avatar now!

1 last try, I know you have a lot to do with Animal Crossing (reviews by you and stuff), so I am guessing its either a char from the GBA - GC link for that game or its a char from the arcade in that game. I don't have the game so I can't prove my theory.
Am I getting warm yet?

I give up, it looks like a cross between Kirby and pacman with petals. Checked a nintendo database, a pokemon database and a namco database and I can't find it.

Looks like something I was playing using MAME the other day, but I can't think what.

Ditto, I run BMP (which is XMMS recoded for GTK+ 2 -- the original was GTK+ 1). Haven't tried to compile any XMMS plugins against it yet, though...

I run BMP (Beep Music Player) under Gnome, it is basically XMMS re-written in GTK. I also ditch Totem for MPlayer and shove in the windows codecs. Speaking of which the MPlayer project is in need of donations so I think that is where my donation next month is going to.

I rather like Rhythmbox, it's just it's stability and sluggishness of loading the library that irritates me and stops me from using it.

Not to mention poor last.fm/audioscrobbler integration, the main reason I don't run it on my Gnome desktop.

Please dont get me wrong but I do love Kde too, particularly Amarok

Amarok runs just fine under Gnome. Yes, you have the overhead of kdelibs but Rhythmbox is pretty piss poor IMHO, it is one example of an oversimplified interface killing the usefulness of an application. The other KDE app I can't live without is K3B, again this runs fine under Gnome.
