Thanks for the tip Brian.  Looks like I would have to find a tarball for it.

Kaffeine4 does not play ball on my 2009.1 GNOME system so I was hoping 
that upgrading would solve the problem.  Channel search seems to do 
something but does not supply any results.  If I use w_scan with -k to 
build the channel list and insert it into the .kde4 tree it is ignored - 
that might have something to do with not running the KDE desktop though.
