Hi David! I don't know if anyone answered your question yet. But here is something, which may most probably help. Did you use mplayer's latest release/snapshot? If not try at: www.mplayerhq.hu Usually they build fine with me. You'll need a lot of libs (-devel packages included) to get it running, also don't forget to download the all-somedate.tar.bz2 package from the mplayer page. It's on the download page (where you find all the mplayer-source links). It's below that, go on the codecs page (they are very helpful). But the new mplayer versions _DON'T_ need libbio2jack anymore. Just a full jack-installation. Worked fine for me and a few other lads I know. Hope that helps. If you've got some more questions, just shoot. I can't read my mails very often, but I'll surely keep an eye on it.
