I have to disagree on this point. I think the mere "I need *all* codecs,
no matter what!" is one of the main motivations for people to visit
d-m.o.

I agree, however, that we should have meta-packages installing a
subjective selection of recommended applications for media playback and
production. For example, while the GNOME desktop already has Totem and
Rhythmbox, we could recommend the combination of vlc and audacious (or
mpv and xmms2, or anything else) for non-GNOME, non-KDE desktops.
