Which player is best for me?

My absolute requirements:
-Multi-threaded "add directory": UI must not freeze during that operation!
-Support for Winamp2 gen and in plugins.
-Working shuffle and other basic features.
-Stats (total playing time of all songs in list, etc)

Would be nice too:
-Support for all Winamp2 plugins.
-Small memory footprint, low CPU usage.
-No need for big add-on libraries (.NET framework, etc).
-Written in some real programming language (yes, that means C/C++).
-Extremely high quality decoding (always 24 bit precision for MP3, up to 96 kHz when that is possible).
-No integrated CD burner, music library, CDDA ripper, radio station and kitchen sink (I already have one with my Mozilla).

Why Winamp2 doesn't match my requirements:
-Freezes for a long time on add directory (even with load titles on display/play).
-No option for fast loading of all titles right after load (but not on load); of course threaded load would solve this problem too.
-Crashes when adding all my songs to playlist (talking about 100 gigs of MP3, dunno if it's the amount of 'em or some broken file that makes it crash).
-Decoding quality isn't perfect.

And for Winamp3.. We all know why not that, right?

So, what are your recommendations?
