Does mplayer -ao pcm work now?? There is no way that it should depend
on a good sound driver.

Try without a -vo option, so you can see the output of MPlayer. Are
there any errors/warnings which may be relevant?

A fast K6 should have power for DVDs with the new MPlayer. Hopefully
it will replace the old two versions.

Maybe. I haven't seen it compiled for 2.2.16. 2.2.16 is buggy.
I think it may require a newer kernel, but I'm not sure.
