The only thing I've found is gramofile.  It's an ancient thing from the last 
century that doesn't seem to be maintained at all, but I compiled and rean it 
only a few months ago.  It's got a curses interface that is slightly buggy, 
but pretty easy to use.

I has several filters to choose from.  I've never noticed much difference with 
any of them  I just use the default.

I found this article in September's Linux Journal pretty much agreed with my 
experiences: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6628

Want to give a talk on it when you've got a working setup at one of the ALE 
meetings?
