Kaffeine

Kaffeine is a simple, easy to use, full featured media player for the K Desktop Environment (KDE). 

Currently, Kaffeine can use xine-lib, MPlayer, or GStreamer as a backend. It is therefore able to play almost all audio and video files.

It supports many types of local and network media broadcast protocols, including digital video broadcasting (DVB).
