can you let us know what steps you took attempting to get multimedia working?
you'd probably want use specifically an audio player for audio files. kaffeine is more of a video playing application. i'd recommend xmms or rhythmbox. amarok is another choice but i find the program to react slowly & freeze up a bit (i have ~4000 songs).

There seem to be some things missing from researching suse and codecs etc..

This would probably be a good start. http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/sourceforg ... .i686.html

and I install faac faad too, along with lots of other things.

Everything seems to be available, but not in the "official" (read stripped out for the USA) repositories.

Exaile player looks interesting, and for dvd I would use totem-xine. You will need to find the libdvdcss/libdecss rpm, which I really can't link to here. Everything else should be covered by the w32codec pack.

I had a similar problem with 10. I have a DVD Rom drive on my laptop and I was unable to view any DVD's. I also has installed libcodecs but that did not fix it.

I was able to finally fix it by downloading and using URPMI to update mplayer. That downloaded all the depedent packages, after I installed it and rebooted it worked.
--~ worth a try.

The debian base seems more developed for multimedia in general. It could be down to the users as suse/redhat/fedora seem to be more business focused.
