NEVER EVER update anything (Besides the applicatuion(s) you are testing) when you have extras-testing or extras-devel enabled. If you let the system update a library to an experimental version you are in for a world of N900 issues.

Do not mention extras-devel unless you need tomplayer is in extras-testing. But before you install it; it's slow, it's not optified, there's no gui

Why is MPlayer not default? Because it's not a media framework, GStreamer is.

This is the whole point- why? Not a critical question.
Erm.... i don't quite understand.
Your thread title asks why mplayer is not there by default (implying it should), then you list reasons why it's incomplete (lack of ui and such)
Multiple personality? Senility? Indecision? (don't really take this seriously, didn't mean to offend)

GUI is only 3 letters. Don't drop the G. UI == User Interface.
mplayer has a great UI built in. Don't knock it if you haven't given it an honest try.

I believe the GUI is not for opening a file but for controlling playback after its running (e.g. play, pause, skipping, etc..). So mplayer itself has a playback GUI but not a GUI for editing options or a GUI method of opening files for playback.

Yes, but there is a UI called SiB in devel... or is that "devil".....
SiB works with Mplayer for accessing files and playing them in Mplayer.
Update:
I see you guy's point. Mplayer is cpu hungry. That and pulseaudio are up to 60% cpu usage. About as cpu hungry as a Flash video, but plays better
How do you test what the default player is doing in the terminal, since I see now way to get out of full screen? Only exits the player.
Sure wish the codecs played as many vids well in the default player. Mplayer plays them well.
