* Here's an idea: put a metapackage in multiverse that pulls in everything needed to get mp3/wmv/whatever playback. The needed packages are already provided (except for w32codecs and libdvdcss)
Let's call them ubuntu-restricted-multimedia and kubuntu-restricted-multimedia. *
libxine-extracodecs contains everything you need for anything playback (except for libdvdcss and w32codecs), a search for 'codecs' in adept or synaptic will reveal this.
