This info comes from backports.org, but it should also apply to
debian-mulitmedia.org, as far as pinning priority goes:
If you want to get your packages from backports upgraded automatically
the following entry in /etc/apt/preferences should be sufficient:
Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
I *think* your pin line should read like this:
Pin: origin www.debian-multimedia.org
I have lenny-backports pinned at 200, and it does not install anything
from backports w/o me specifying it. It will automatically upgrade
existing backports packages with newer versions of backports packages as
they come out.
See man apt_preferences for more details.
