Mplayer should work just fine from an rpm install, but I don't remember 
if you have to install the codecs seperately or not. I don't think thats 
necessary with rpms, but it is with a source compile/install. Mplayer 
was my main media player, then I installed Xine and was impressed with 
it, so I use it as default now. I would recommend Xine for video and 
XMMS is a good music-jukebox type program. I keep Mplayer because it has 
mencoder for encoding DVDs to mpeg1/2 or mpeg4. Kplayer is a KDE media 
player based on mplayer, and it is comparible to XMMS as far as a music 
jukebox, but all of the above work for me under both gnome and KDE, so 
you can use them all if you want.
