Yeah, amaroK and kaffeine (both with xine) are what I use as well and I
think that it is the best combination so far (amaroK for music and kaffeine
for video and DVDs). The only problem is that kaffeine is in playing
internet streams still much better (amaroK still cannot parse .smil
playlists, for example), so I have to process .smil files manually, which
doesn't work always (when the content of the playlist changes --
