Not really sure, look here for a short insight on the latest version of  
Zenwalk:
http://www.zenwalk.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=28
Mplayer + patches seems interesting.

And this one is more accurate:

(sorry fellow mailinglist users, this one's in Romanian, but I'm sure Jani  
will extract
the info he needs, and if there's something of interest, you'll know :) ).

I've downloaded the latest version - Zenwalk 4.2, will check it out soon.
I'll try to report, but I'm sure a lot of their ideas conflict with Ubuntu  
policy. What
doesn't... would be a good idea :)
