    My previous email on mplayer referred to the first binary (mplayer.bz2).

    The latest binary (mplayer.tgz) does NOT work on my system. It doesn't 
play any sound files (I can see the visual stuff but no sound comes through) 
and I have failed to get it to play any video files.
Permissions are set exactly as for the first binary.

    Fortunately, I kept the first one (renamed) and so I have re-installed 
that.

Regards,
        Ron
