I would also note, that mplayer is a pain to use on non-x86 
architectures. It is so optimized to run well on x86, that every 
other arch will have performance problems. For example, on my G4 
Powerbook (500Mhz) I cannot play any movies using mplayer without it 
dropping frames left and right. Totem/Xine, on the other hand, work 
very smoothly.
