No, totem-gstreamer with gstreamer0.10 still require some work. But there is not point to choice the default player for something that doesn't apply to the DVD installation. libxine-extracodecs is required to play DVDs with totem-xine. Shipping totem-xine would mean less integration with the desktop and no better video playing for no win on the default installation. If people install libxine-extracodecs from multiverse they can as well install a DVD player as easily, there is no special need to have the same UI to plays medias and DVDs anyway
