+Libvisual is an abstraction library that comes between applications
+and audio visualisation plugins.
+
+Often when it comes to audio visualisation plugins or programs that
+create visuals, they depend on a player or something else; basically,
+there is no general framework that enabled application developers
+to easily access cool audio visualisation plugins. Libvisual wants
+to change this by providing an interface towards plugins and
+applications; through this easy to use interface applications can
+easily access plugins and, since the drawing is done by the
+application, it also enables the developer to draw the visual
+anywhere he wants.
+
+The framework also allows you to morph to different plugins and
+mix two at once; all kinds of neat tricks are possible using this
+method.
+
+This package contains the older 0.2 release, for backward compatibility.
