Yop, it would be nice... 

...but AFAIremember, providing a fully featured player in the distribution 
would fall under the same (legal) issues as xmms.. Plus, when you compile 
MPlayer, you get arch. optimisations (different code used for AMD and P4 for 
example), which I'm not sure is feasible/doable.

Also, there's a kde wrapper (KMPlayer) somewhere in the packages..
