Why not?
It plays mpeg I & divx fine.

It dose not play mpeg2/ac3/dvd most likley because the codecs
are not reentrant and have not the stability to be included
in KDE.
(well, and there is the patent problem too)

It is the default. 

switch (responseTime) {
        case 0: args += " -F 3 -S 512";     break;
        case 1: args += " -F 7 -S 1024";    break;
        case 2: args += " -F 5 -S 8192";    break;
        case 3: args += " -F 128 -S 4096";  break;
    }


int responseTime=config->readNumEntry("ResponseTime",2);

But: its not immune against clicking when switching desktops,
     at least not always.
     One thing I found out: if you run "top" the clicks may
     be more often than without "top".
