Totem. Why? It's easy, soft to use to the desktop, doesn't crash or glitch at all, visualization/equalizer is easy to use and probably tweak as well

It's just great

Audio: madman & xmms is for me the perfect combination for a large mp3 colletion (with good tagging capeabilities) , and for sure streamripper and streamtuner are an absolute must.
Video: mplayer plays every format, very stable, easy to compile (better preformance) and uninstall
both: i don't use an audio tool for playing video.

I like rhythm box just because it's like ITunes. But for Windows/Mac media players, I would have to say ITunes for its easy of use and ripping speed, etc.

Video: MPlayer
MPlayer plays just about everything. Unlike in other video players, the subtitle autoloading works and the subtitles look good. Keyboard configuration can be customized. After reading MPlayer's man pages, you can do just about everything. For example sounds can rerouted across the speaker channels any way you like.

Audio: Muine
For mp3/ogg playing I'm not that demanding. Simplicity and easy song/album browsing is most important. Muine does that well. The GUI is quite simple and easy to use.

Both: -
If some app is a good video player, it's not a good audio player and vice versa. If some app is good at both, it's bloated.

i am not completely happy with any music players. muine or rhythmbox come closest.

muine is good for quickly find a song or album and the play queue. but it cant really do play lists.

the sources and browsing in rhythmbox is nice, but it takes up a lot of space. and the database doesn't hold enough infomation

http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet is quite interesting. but i am not sure about it.

might have to work something up over the summer that fits my needs. might try out python + gstreamer + sqlite and see what i can do.

Audio - Jamboree, because it's UI is close to rhythmbox and don't hangup like rhythmbox when importing my music collection
Video - Totem, because it's simple
