Try adding the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and replace "testing" with your favorite choice of stable, testing, or unstable. It's unofficial .debs of mplayer, lame and other such goodies from Christian Marillat. You can also get xine from there, which is similar to mplayer.

> is there an alternative to mplayer with a debian package?

I used to use Mplayer (gmplayer) for everything, but for some reason it now wont play full screen… so now I use Totem for all my video stuff and it works great…. you can also use it for mp3's, etc. and get a swirly display in time with the audio…

Please note that Totem only seems available in testing and unstable (unless you can find a backport at www.apt-get.org ).

I don't think anyone mentioned that you can also snag kplayer from there. I think that's where I got it.
