Shame that mplayer will never make it into the redhat distro, and
setting it up will remain a chore, with all of the licencing issues
involved. mplayer in basics already uses mp3 codec's, and is able to
extend to decrypt-CSS libs (for dvd playback), reversed engineerd
external api's and don't even think about how not law-abiding it is that
they offer win32 codecs for download from there site (even if the codec
is free to use, your not free to re-distribute them). In other words it
would be a can of worms if redhat touched it ;-)
That being said, it is a very high quality player (it's core is being
used for a linux based XBox media player).
Personaly, i have a deep love for Totem
(http://www.hadess.net/totem.php3) which is a gnome 2 front end for the
xine-libs (http://xine.sourceforge.net/). It intergrates very nicely
with redhat's gnome 2.2 desktop. If you like intergrated looks as much
as me, give it a try ;-)
