Explicitly depending on VLC is a bit crude. Especially considering this.
Describe the solution you'd like
There should be a list of backend radio player names and paths. eradio should iterate through this list until it finds an installed backend and use that. The list should be ordered by how well the backends work so that the better a backend works the higher priority it gets. Alternatively the backend command can be explicitly set if the user wants to.
jamzattack on #emacs suggested mpv --no-video. It just worked on OpenBSD.
Jamie Beardslee(jamzattack) submitted a patch that implements the eradio-player variable and a customize interface for it.
