Hello All,
Further to the earlier writeup about the Debian Etch KDE installation. This writeup refers to installation of multimedia support for Debian Etch KDE. The links were found from this site given below.
http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/2812/how-to_setup_debian
However it has a lot more stuff that may not be necessary so simply follow the following steps.
Add the Debian multimedia repo to your /etc/apt/sources.list as given below.
#multimedia deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
Then run the following 2 commands one after another.
gpg --keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 1F41B907 gpg --armor --export 1F41B907 | sudo apt-key add -
Then do a sudo apt-get update.
After that install the packages using this command.
sudo apt-get install w32codecs libdvdcss2 liblame0 flashplugin-nonfree streamtuner xmms msttcorefonts banshee realplayer
This is a long installation. Note that from the site, the totem-mozilla entry was removed as we don't use Gnome.
Then install kaffeine using sudo apt-get install kaffeine. If apt returns errors then follow its instructions to run sudo apt-get -f install to correct broken package lists. Then run the kaffeine installation again.
Once Kaffeine is installed, you system is now ready for multimedia playback. You can now play VCDS, DVDs and other media formats to your hearts content. Kaffeine will automatically detect a VCD or DVD and offer to play it.
There is no volume control in the desktop so right click on the task bar and select 'Add applet to panel...'. From the list select 'Sound mixer'. After it is installed, right click on its icon and select 'Channels'. Remove the unwanted ones to keep the icon slim. The necessary ones are 'Headphone' and 'PCM' as they actively control your sound level.
Now your system is ready as a desktop pc. Those new to Debian can simply follow the 2 writeups and get Debian Etch running in their systems with practically no problems.

Apology for top posting. Since I am not commenting on the content of the email, a top post makes more sense to me.
@Rony: Please create a wiki page (@ ilugbom wiki) and send the link to the list. This will aid in searching of information. </TOP POST>
regards VK

The wiki has been created at http://fci.wikia.com/wiki/DebianEtch-KDE
Those who use Etch are requested to add normal repos (without the multimedia one) to that section as some of my repos from that site are broken.

Oh! I realize. And thanks to everyone who has added extra stuff to that wiki page. The list of apt repos will help many who are looking towards editing their sources.lst file. I have added a K3B setup in the end as I found it needed some extra packages to be fully functional.
