There's gnome-mplayer (there's probably a KDE variant), and smplayer, to
try out, at least.

I have used GUI programs like XMMS or Audacious to play streams, but
sometimes you need to tweak the preferences, to increase cache sizing,
to avoid skips.  Totem is too much of a black box (not enough options to
play with).
