Thanks Adam. It is too bad but it's a relief to know I hadn't somehow messed up something on my debian unstable install. I accidentally let it uninstall mplayer during an upgrade and it took a while for me to both fix that and get gameday audio back to playing via iceweasel. As for mlbviewer, I'll check whether it's been reported or discussed again and watch for a new version to come out; it is so very convenient to use!!! -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
