Phil you have the wrong end of the stick with my message. I am not a developer of MPlayer but I wrote that Jaunty Jackalope guide and I quite enthusiastically answer queries relating to its usage. My only motivation for directing Zedi to this guide was that I knew if his problem persisted with the current svn he had more chance of a response from a developer.
