It looks like you already have managed to separate the racook codec
from the others. I needed to download the all-codecs package (it
looks like essential, plus some Windows codecs and symlinks) to
compile this new MPlayer, so I still have that. I will put it on
a CD-R and email small codecs if anyone needs them.

I haven't had any audio codecs missing, other than racook. Video
is another story.

I have dial-up, but I download large files while I'm asleep. 10MB
takes about an hour if I get a 33.6 connection, or 45 minutes with
a 45333+ connection rate.

It looks like you found a smaller codec package which has racook
and is less painful to download. So I don't think I need to include
racook with the main package.

I hope this will be the last version until 'they' release a stable
1.0 version of MPlayer.

I'm glad to hear that everything is working.
