Most people, that want a videoplayer that works for more or less everything will end up with either Mplayer or VLC both work with Jack also both are needed for encoding/videoediting anyway. I understand, that they are a bit tooo skilled to be shipped with Ubuntu by default but anyway: most users will end up with one of the two because they are simply the best solutions.... So if you want the best for the user just install a script that recommends to install one of them. just my 2ct HZN -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
