mplayer is dynamically linked against libavcodec, and cannot be
configured to load it at runtime. AFAIUI, this rules out all mplayer
based solutions.

Anything that uses Ctrl-X (usually the shortcut for "cut text") to quit is
pretty crappy to use.

Kaffeine 1.0 and Kubuntu
I've gotten a lot of value out of both kaffeine and smplayer in the past, among many others...
But vlc currently has the best blend of performance, configurability and features - to be honest my main issue with the GUI is simply the playlist handling (would be lovely to have it as a frame in the window) - and apart from this it's near-perfect ....

Hi
We're currently looking at whether Kaffeine 1.0 is suitable for
inclusion in Kubuntu by default. *I have a few issues and wonder if
you could comment.
Firstly, it doesn't use Phonon. *This means (at least with Pulseaudio
which most distros use now) that it doesn't follow the settings for
audio output, so it doesn't work with my USB headphones. *Is there any
way to fix that? *(It also means it will continue to use xine should
distros ever start to use another Phonon backend.)
Videos don't currently show when they start playing, I have to switch
to the playlist tab and back to the playback tab.
Finally, my pet dislike, a pointless systray icon, we can turn it off
with a config option I hope but I'd like to hear the justification.
It's also using the old KSystemTrayIcon class I see, that probably
means Aurelien Gateau will be taking an axe to it to replace it with
KStatusNotifierItem at some point.

Is that not how it _already_ is in Ubuntu Maverick / VLC 1.1.x ?
Is this discussion based on Lucid or Maverick?
