Hmm, last time I checked, none of the deb-multimedia
versions were
set to be more recent than the Sid ones. They're also not
automatically upgradeable, apparently. At least, last time I did a
system upgrade (not dist-upgrade) it didn't upgrade any of the
deb-multimedia packages, even though some of them had been upgraded
by deb-multimedia. At least I have to manually upgrade one if I want
to.
I mostly use it for the win32 codecs, AACS keys, easytag, mplayer.
easytag and mplayer(2) are available from the Debian repositories.
I don't have the win32 codecs installed and have yet to find a file
which doesn't play, although, of course, your needs may be more
demanding than mine.
I don't always agree with Debian's personal
idiocies, such as their
hatred of cdrecord. I replaced wodim with cdrecord, and was
surprised to find out that CD burning WORKED ON MY LAPTOP AGAIN.
Wodim had been failing with "hardware" errors for a few years before
that.
Were you using wodim from the command line? You should file a bug, if it
is not working for you.
