Multimedia plans for Edgy

[Colin McDermott]

1. Is it reasonable to include gstreamer in xubuntu?
2. Is totem a good choice (I've never used it myself)?
3. Other proposition(s) for multimedia?

Can I say this I HATE ToTEM. It is difficult to use. It  is not 
straightforward. It is Processor intensive and I don't understand why 
people would use it.

Sure rank all options. But I personally think that GXine is a far 
lighter and far better option. IMHO.

Other Options
Xine
Xmms
etc.

Cheers

Colin
