Notes:

  • Kaffeine 0.8.8 ChangeLog 

  • this binary kaffeine is the "unrestricted" build with lame mp3 encoding Support (this build was usually distributed via the medibuntu repository, but it seems kaffeine got dropped from there.)
  • the xine-engine for Kaffeine is included in the main package, if you want additional gstreamer support, install the kaffeine-gstreamer package
  • for DVB-S2 support install latest v4l-dvb hg first!
