From my last Debian installation I remember there was a standalone SID
player coming with the VICE emulator. On the new installation I also
installed VICE, but cannot find the executable (and cannot remember its
file name from the previous installation.

Is this player still shipped with VICE (on Linux)? What's its name then?

"vsid". It's built by default in the VICE source code, so I'd expect
most Linux distributions to include it somewhere (e.g. in Debian it's
just in the "vice" package with the rest of the emulators).

Quite a lot of general music players support SID files through
libsidplayfp as well...

Yay! :-) It was already installed! Just didn't knew the name of the
program. :-)

Still problems to run it. It wants a kernal rom. Cannot figure out the
syntax.

vsid -kernal /usr/lib/vice/C64/kernal Music/sids/Sanxion.sid

throws errors. Would like to add it to the .vicerc. Anyone has a snipped
of her/his setup concerning vsid?

Don't want to install extra software if installed programs can already play
SID files.

On the old machine there was also VLC which plays SID files. Not installing
it on the new machine.

/usr/bin/vsid is in the Debian vice package. Is that the thing you're
remembering?
