AFAIK Mplayer is probably the best (and only?) multimedia player on
console. You don't need to compile from source. You can search and
download .deb. apt-get.org is one source. debian-multimedia.org is
another.
Or get it straight from the horses mouth :
Add
# mplayer
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ stable main
to your sources.list, run apt-get update and ENJOY ;-)
