I had to compile a custom version of mplayer from source. At least that's how it was for debian. At least it's not as bad as RH and others that strip out all mp3 support and such. Although I had to compile lame from source as well on debian. Mainly to get Layer III, versus Layer II type mp3's. Since my mp3 player is picky. It also solved the Audacity issue of exporting mp3's and not finding some lib. I have a number of lower grade historical archives of visual arts programs with insufficient audio. i.e. Normalized to the audio of the announcer, not the group. So I've had to edit the audio and rejoin it to the video to make it viewable (by humans) for all intents and purposes. That and their DVD audio format is 2.1 at best.
