You’ve got FFmpeg in there, the universal multimedia “sonic screwdriver”, 
that should already be able to do nearly all the necessary conversions/
encoding.

I looked up projectm, and it seems to be some kind of OpenGL-based 
visualizer, that comes as a library anyway, so you shouldn’t need to 
struggle with operating it via some GUI’s puppet strings.

Similar thing for MOD files: I see that modplug is available as a library, 
too. And it’s available as a build option for FFmpeg.
