I'm not the OP, nor is multimedia my job (it might be, or maybe has been at 
times, a hobby), but I have another use case (or two) for such a request.  

if I was just getting into a field (e.g., multimedia), or switching OSs / 
distros, I might want to try out all the available multimedia apps and then  
(1) pick the best (suited to me) app of a type I'm used to, or (2) to see what 
other types of multimedia apps might be available with features I might not 
have even known exist.
