Technically, just about every KDE application can be a VLC frontend today: KDE's audio/video library Phonon has a VLC backend plugin, developed together with the VLC developers. Next to the GStreamer backend most distributions ship by default it's the most actively developed and used backend, and the backend used by default on Windows (bundled via the KDE Windows installer or the standalone installers of apps like Amarok). And of course this is achieved via libvlc.

I guess this means that, nowadays, every program will evolve
until you can use it to watch videos. In the old days,
evolution was complete when it got e-mail, but now you
can e-mail videos.
