This is a request to support XSPF playlists.  XSPF is an open XML playlist
format under the Xiph.org umbrella.  

* links to other players, preferrably Open Source and working on Unix

VLC is planning XSPF support for the version after 0.8.4.  Other open source
Unix players include Gnomoradio and Serpentine. 
http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/ is a popular open source Flash player which
supports it.  Yahoo Music Engine, which isn't open source and doesn't work on
Unix, supports it.

See http://xspf.org/applications/ for list of other players.

* links to explanations of the format.

See http://xspf.org/quickstart/

* ways to obtain mediafiles in that format to test. 

All playlists on http://webjay.org can be fetched as XSPF by appending .xspf to
the playlist URL.
There is a Drupal module to create XSPF: http://drupal.org/project/playlist
There is a Wordpress plugin to create XSPF: http://www.boriel.com/?page_id=12
