I've been using mplayer for close to a year now and I've been very
impressed with it. While the debs are available I'd strongly suggest
compiling from source to a) comply with the wishes of the developers and
b) get better performance by compiling specifically for your
architecture. It's already prepared for a debian install anyway. Just
get the sources (preferably CVS), and from the main directory type
"debian/rules binary" and let it sit for a while. It'll compile and make
a deb for you all in one step.
