Excellent
Excellent player, congratulations. Am using it on kde
3.4.2 with xine-libs 1.1.0 without any problems. You
get a 10/10 from me, because I consider this to be a
killer app with killer features, e.g. autopause when
switching desktops. Maybe support for the mplayer
lib would be too much to ask for?
One minor detail now that I think of it. When I switch
to minimized mode, the window doesn't seem to
autoresize yet. A workaround for me is to do
"alt-1/2/3".
Anyway thanks a lot!

Kaffeine .5
I upgraded Kaffeine using the KDE package manager in MEPIS Linux. Disaster struck. The Kaffeine player crashes constantly, when I try to play ogg files from a file.
The version .1 worked fine, wish I could get it back.
