It fulfills just about every quality you asked for. I made a thread about it here that you can read for more information.
You needed a village? There is one directly south of spawn, about 100 blocks away. And it has crops and a blacksmith like you wanted.
You wanted caves? There are some holes in the ground northwest of the village which lead to some nice caves. One of them leads to a stronghold intersecting a ravine with a HUGE abandoned mineshaft nearby that has quite a few diamond ores (I've mined 20+ diamonds so far).
You wanted dungeons? There is a spider dungeon less than 65 blocks away from spawn, and a zombie dungeon in the abandoned mineshaft mentioned above.
But here is the best part: if you build a Nether portal near spawn, you will emerge literally inside of a Nether Fortress! This is probably one of the best seeds for beginners, speedruns, hardcore playthroughs, SMP servers, you name it!
This one was found by Quintrixer: World of Quintrixer
You spawn in a huge desert with a mushroom biome to the north. Those two biomes are basically the only ones in the immediate vicinity of spawn. Quintrixer found at least two desert temples to the east, but not much wood, sadly. And yes, of course, it is large biomes.
I'm currently using it as one of my main worlds, and have found two abandoned mineshafts, a third desert temple, an exposed skeleton dungeon and even a stronghold, all on the island.
I was playing my Dossier survival world, and killing monsters in the desert at night, when it suddenly began thundering. I decided to go in for the night at my house near the plains village.
When I woke up, I decided to get some Eyes of Ender from the villagers. As soon as I go up to the priest, I see this charged Creeper walking towards me. I tried to knock it back, but was too late - the creeper exploded. The blast killed half of the villager population, including a priest who was offering a Silk Touch enchantment. It also put a huge hole in the ground, destroyed two buildings, and knocked me down to three hearts.
jd434, I think the reason your Minecraft crashed was because the version of Audiotori you're using (1.5.1) doesn't match the Minecraft version you're using (1.5.2).
I remember getting a very similar crash report to what you posted when I tried to use the 1.5 version of Audiotori with Minecraft 1.5.1.
To fix it, simply remove the inferior version of Audiotori, and wait until the up-to-date version (1.5.2) is released.
As for when it will be released, again, I have no clue. I would venture to say a week or so, but it might be longer before we see an update at this pace.
You spawn in a forest. Around 100 or so blocks to the south is a plains village with plenty of crops and a blacksmith (nothing interesting in the chest though). About 70-80 blocks northwest of the village is a hole that leads to both a stronghold AND an abandoned mineshaft. But here's the best part about the seed: if you build your Nether Portal around spawn or near the village, you emerge inside a Nether Fortress!
Here's one that will prove quite useful for beginners and veterans alike: Philadelphia Flyers
It spawns you in a forest, with an NPC village and some amazing mountains to the south. There is a hole leading to a stronghold northwest of the village. I made a thread detailing the find here.
You spawn in a forest, north of an NPC village. and a decent-sized plains biome. There are tons of sheep all over the place, and a fair amount of cows and pigs too. There are only about four chickens (which are south of the village), so be extra careful that you don't kill them. Herding and breeding the animals won't be a problem since there are crops at the village and there is tons of grass that you can clear for seeds. There's plenty of other cool stuff if you like adventuring - read more here.

On my mushroom/extreme hills survival island world, I began attacking an Enderman, and he eventually took my health to 2.5 hearts.
I suddenly realized my hunger meter was at only 4 shanks and I had only one bowl of mushroom stew left. I tried running to the nearest body of water to make the Enderman neutral, but took half a heart of fall damage on the way, and he caught up and finished me off.
The funny part is that after I picked up my items, I got my revenge and killed him with a stone axe!
It spawns you in a forest with a small beach island south of you, as well as some sugar cane. There's a village further south, and some very impressive Extreme hills south of the village, all within 150-200 blocks of spawn. But there's quite a bit more that you would enjoy - read more about it here.
Seed: Philadelphia Flyers
Numerical Seed: -1479658402
Map type: Default
NOTE: This seed was created in 1.5.1, but it definitely works in all versions from 1.5 up to 1.6.4, and it might also work in earlier versions. However, it will not work in 1.7 and its associated snapshots (you will instead get a survival island spawn).
You spawn in a forest biome, so wood won't be an issue. The rough coordinates are X -200, Z 540 (you may spawn on top of a tree).If you go south to about X -301 Z 801, you'll find an NPC village, shown below. There's plenty of crops, so you'll never run out of food. (UPDATE 7/4/2013: In 1.6.1, you'll also find a bonus in the blacksmith's stash: diamond horse armour!)
Going further south will take you to this Extreme Hills biome, which has some amazing views.
But the real highlight of this seed can be found by entering this hole northwest of the village.
Just a short distance through, you will see these bricks.
That's right, there is a stronghold, extremely close to spawn. You'll also see this massive ravine with an Abandoned Mineshaft suspended over a lava river. Because of the lava, you'll need to be careful not only of cave spiders, but also skeletons and creepers. I'd certainly bring a bucket of water, just in case! It's pretty massive and even goes down to bedrock at one point.
The End Portal isn't far either - as soon as you see the bricks in the hole, hug the left wall until you see this fountain.
Go straight, through the metal bar archway, and you're there (no eyes of ender inside it though).
Other points of interest:
Dungeon: X -285, Y 55, Z 536 - NOTE: This is a spider dungeon in 1.5.2, with average loot. In 1.6.1-1.6.4, it's a skeleton dungeon containing three sets of iron horse armour, a saddle, and the music disc 'Cat'.
Library with 2x Looting II book: X -341, Y 37, Z 803; not too far from the End Portal
Desert Temple: X -820, Z 803 - This one actually spawns in a small lake, which, due to the new generation in 1.6.1, is a glitch (I think) since lakes don't generate in deserts. It contains a saddle and two emeralds.
Zombie dungeon + 3 diamond ore: X -440, Y 8, Z 767 - Located within the mineshaft by the stronghold. Contains Music Disc 13, a Name Tag, and a saddle.
4 diamonds: X -353, Y 13, Z 731
3 diamonds: X -400, Y 12, Z 785
6 diamonds: X - 370, Y 13, Z 732
8 diamonds: X - 414, Y 5, Z 813 (This is also the section of the mineshaft that touches bedrock)
UPDATE (4/12/13): If you build a portal to the Nether, you emerge literally inside of a Nether Fortress! Be careful though, as you may be ambushed by Wither Skeletons and/or Blazes, especially the latter since there is a Blaze spawner not too far away from the portal. You'll also have to be EXTREMELY careful in 1.6, as there's a lavafall next to the portal, although you can plug that up by bringing a stack of cobble. Remember, this will only work in 1.5 and 1.6. Versions 1.7 and later will not work!
Long story short, this is definitely a seed worth looking into. There are goodies everywhere - I couldn't possibly cover everything in a single post that this seed has to offer! If you find anything particularly nice, post it below!

The sounds aren't working due to the new sound engine. Are you planning to address this anytime soon?EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out - all I had to do was change the "sound" folder to "sounds". Still, would be good for you to do the same.
