projectm supports milkdrop (btw. milkdrop = winamp) plugins and on my
ubuntu system I have about 70 different visualizations. And I'm sure
that you could add many more... but the thing why I rarely use ist is
that its socomplicated to get it running (rightclick on the
visualization...select plugins... select it... resize the window...
toggle fullscreen...) way too much I think for a visualisation...
