Thanks Christian,

kmplayer despite the name no longer solely depends on mplayer to provide a 
functional media player.  In fact the way it has been packaged for Debian in 
svn.debian is that it only depends on the free xine to provide media player 
functionality and this should go in main and not contrib. It also can use a 
gstreamer backend, which, whilst also free, has been disabled for the Debian 
package.
