This is a transport plugin for the Audacious audio player. This plugin uses the Qt file I/O subsystem for local files, which supports more edge cases. For example, with this plugin you can play audio files with paths like file://hostname/share/path/to/file.mp3 on Windows from your SMB server.
The implementation of Audacious's VFS does not allow override the transport for local files (see libaudcore/vfs.cc for details). Also the implementation of Audacious's scanner for cover images uses GLib internally (see libaudcore/art-search.cc for details). For this reasons, the plugin is not cross-platform and uses platform-specific hooks, which are implemented only for x86 and x86_64 Windows builds at this moment.
