It would be complicated, because no all player are based on KDE. MPlayer, for example, it's text based originally, and has a GUI based in GTK. I don't think that the developers of mplayer are interested in implementing a command line option to register as a kde default player. So the best option is still that you select your preffered player. Maybe the best option is think in a better way to select the prefered player, or ask to the developers of debian to select a better default player in the distribution. Another important thing is that noatun isn't used anymore in kde 4, wait some time and maybe you will have a better default player.
