I intend to package vlc, a DVD and MPEG2 video player, and vlms, a broadcasting server application which reads the same files as the vlc and can send them to it on the network.
Although they can easily be interfaced with it through a pipe, neither vlc nor vlms contain DeCSS code. I'm working upstream for the project as well, so I'll take care not to add suspicious code. Source can be found on http://www.videolan.org/downloads.html (vlms is to be released very soon (tm)) Along with the vlc package are a few other packages: vlc-alsa, vlc-esd, vlc-fb, vlc-ggi, vlc-glide, vlc-gnome, vlc-sdl, which are output plugins I put apart because they had their own dependencies.
