I just love DeadBeef... I only miss one thing: being able to import playlists form other music players. Xnoise is interesting because it can play videos too and from what I've read, Ubuntu is targeting a media player such as Banshee (it's being considered to be made default for UNE sometime)

1. Given you have proper codecs and audio libs installed for mplayer, adding a music player won't bring many addiional dependencies since they are already there. 2. Usability matters. If you consider user interface, gnome-mplayer is a nice video player but it's really a bad music player. It's even
