Any "music visualizer" type plugins compatible w/ OpenMPT?

Ever since I learned that WinAmp was being made open source, and saw that it could [attempt] to play MPTM modules (it didn't do a very good job), it made me realize that I haven't seen any WinAmp (or WMP, or VLC)-style music visualizers specifically for trackers. But just because I haven't seen them does not automatically mean they don't exist!

So, are there any music visualizer plugins out there (in whatever form), that you guys know of, which are known to work with OpenMPT?

The latest Winamp versions use libopenmpt for playback - apart from the fact that the version they use is several years old by now, there is no reason that MPTM files should sound bad in it. libopenmpt does not support VST plugins and does not support external samples, so those are the only two possible reasons why an MPTM file would not play correctly in Winamp (or indeed any other module player).

You could try searching for VST visualizer/VJ plugins. There's no reason why a specific VST plugin wouldn't work with OpenMPT while working with any other VST host, but if it doesn't, I'd rather like to hear about it and try fixing it.

I've searched for a while, but unfortunately I'm not finding a whole lot. None of the free stuff I've found is VST-based. Maybe demand for this kind of thing is just too low :/
