Thanks. Got the svn thing like you said and installed it: debian/
binary like it said to produce a deb file, which I installed.
The main problem is there is no alsa:
eric at fido:~$ mplayer Politics/Chomsky/Noam_Chomsky-
Big_Business_And_The_General_Population_128.mp3
Starting mcatcher

No such audio driver

I looked up another thread and it said to install libasound2-dev so
did this and recompiled.
But it still does not work - no alsa audio output driver - above error
message.
Any help greatly appreciated. I had mplayer working perfectly before
except for mp4 files.
