I seem to remember it looked promising, but had some way to go, although that was a little while back and it may have come on a bit since then. It also lacked the capability to turn off some of the unnecessary crap that needed turning off in Amarok to make it tolerable. For audio, I'm fairly pleased with Audacious so far. Now that the intrusive UI problems have been fixed it's pretty good: does the job without getting in the way. It's just for video that I'm not sure what's the best way to go. I have tried it.

Exaile is GTK-based, Amarok-inspired, and written in Python. It's a pure audio player, though. Have you tried this one: http://www.exaile.org/ at all?
