https://pclinuxos.pkgs.org/rolling/pclinuxos-x86_64/audacious-plugin-visualizations-4.1-2pclos2021.x86_64.rpm.html is the plugin. But it is about how to install in Ubuntu which to me is quite difficult, please help!

rpm=redhat, not Ubuntu. Please find a .deb and you can use software center to install it.

I'm not sure if what you want is included or not in the plugins package but you can try. Install it with `sudo apt install audacious-plugins`

For Ubuntu 21.04 and newer you can use audacious-plugins package from universe pocket. Install it with

sudo apt-add-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install audacious-plugins

For Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and older you have to add special PPA first, so install using commands below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install audacious-plugins

After installation you should launch Audacious and visit Services → Plugins menu to enable needed plugins in Visualization section, drag them to needed locations to get something like shown below:

Visualizations


Technical details (if needed): the link in your question contains a link to rpm-package.
When downloaded and extracted, one can see its contents as follows:

usr/
└── lib64
    └── audacious
        └── Visualization
            ├── blur_scope-qt.so
            ├── blur_scope.so
            ├── cairo-spectrum.so
            ├── gl-spectrum-qt.so
            ├── qt-spectrum.so
            └── vumeter-qt.so

so the next step is to use package contents search on https://packages.ubuntu.com for example for vumeter-qt.so library. This clearly says that one needs to install audacious-plugins package.

That is great Norbert, again a good help. I am just halfway there since I had to also clean the sources.list that had .rpm pointers inside, causing all kind of nastiness. So the work is done, but I don't see any plugins yet, probably has to do with you second part where this package is required. Will look into that tomorrow, cheers!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
