Don't the Free Software alternatives like Kaffeine work for you? There are ways
to get the patent-encumbered codecs for them, for example
xine-lib-extras-nonfree (which should actually be called something like
xine-lib-patent-encumbered-codecs, since that's what it really contains) does
wonders for Kaffeine (probably illegal in the USA, but I don't think those
particular software patents were ever enforced against the xine-lib
implementations), and some proprietary binary-only codecs (including, IIRC,
the .so files from RealPlayer) are also supported (though probably not really
legal to use that way, but who can enforce that?).
