SMPEG is a free MPEG1 video player library with sound support. Video playback is based on the ubiquitous Berkeley MPEG player, mpeg_play v2.2. Audio is played through a slightly modified mpegsound library, part of Splay v0.8.2.
SMPEG supports MPEG audio (MP3), MPEG-1 video, and MPEG system streams
This library is distributed under the GNU Library Public License (LGPL version 2. (and was compiled with: -m68020-60
plaympeg are simple video player provided to test the library. (it requires the same for SDL library: CGX, AHI, etc) The C library interface is 'documented' in smpeg.h, and the C library interface is spread out over the MPEG*.h files.

So how does it hold up against existing players?

It doesn't work for me, just generates endless yellow alerts when run.

I think your missing the point. SMPEG is a library with a player "plaympeg" which just demonstrates the use of that library and isn't meant to be a fully featured mpeg player. SDL and SMPEG are commonly used on LINUX to make all sorts of cool stuff. plaympeg is just a concept player.
Look at this as a good thing. Linux enjoys inovation by Open Source programers using such libries and the amiga can now enjoy more of the same. :-)
