I use VLC[1] for videos and Exaile[2] for music. VLC handles most formats
without the need for additional formats and Exaile uses the GStreamer
backend. The main thing Exaile brings is excellent library functionality. I
particularly enjoy the dynamic playlist feature where I pick a song from my
library and it checks last.fm for similar music in my library and
continually builds my playlist that way. Sometimes, the music meanders in
interesting directions, but it definitely allows me to rediscover music in
my collection that I would have otherwise forgotten about.
