I installed all the dependencies and read the doc file and typed
xine -s -a filename.mp3 or filename.wav

I got a small grey gui which seems to require a mouse to use, but clicking 
on the > or on play (next screen) did not do anything (no sound).  play 
and mpg123 are working.  I can get a playlist (type xine ... *.mp3 and get 
all the mp3 files listed).

(I think I should have started Xvesa with -2button so the mouse would copy 
- here goes typing by hand so expect some errors)

It autodetected oss but realtime check FAILED - realtime sync disabled
xine_init:  audio thread created
input plugin found:  input_dvd.so  (etc)
xine_init: plugins loaded
xine open audio.wav, start pos - 0
inpud dvd:  input_plugin_open >audio.wav<
demux_avi:  init failed, avi_errno=0
vo exit
video_out_xshm: reset_xshm


The -s and xshm refer to using x11 for the display.  Xv is default.
The -a tells it this is an audio file, I think.

What am I doing wrong, or omitting?

I hope David can get mplayer to work instead.  Your lack of sound in the 
second mplayer sounds just like what I am getting - looks like it should 
be playing, no specific error messages, no sound.  David, did you change 
anything between versions besides i686 changed to auto-detecting the cpu?
