Yeah, I used to follow that thread last year, when it was still fun to 
watch all the finger-pointing. :(

Thanks Sam for the pointer and quick response. I can't use something 
known to have security holes and that I need to patch to be able to 
listen to stuff. Is the 32-bit wrapped plugin known to be broken on F15 
then? What's the difference to F14, where it worked on the same machine? 
Would be great if somebody updated that wiki page, to save others 
frustration.
