I am looking for a good general purpose media player, like Mplayer ,

ok, so I compiled it from source and did a make install. However there
is no gui available. In red hat there was a mplayer-gui package and
that was all that was needed. I found references to an old mplayer
debian package however I cannot find it.
is there an alternative to mplayer with a debian package? It may seem
that I am lazy, I am, that is why I installed debian to begin which, so
I did not have to chase dependencies. Now, I do not have to cause there
are simply no apps available.
Mplayer packages are available. Add one or both of the following to
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
The mplayer source also comes with debian build rules, if you want
to build an mplayer package yourself.
