If you go to this site (listed below) and download both APT and Synaptic. You will be able to download the Xine stuff and it's libraries via Synaptic. It will automatically configure and install the dependant files that are required. http://shrike.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=344 I also use this to keep the files updated.

I have xmms doing ogg and mp3 I have xine doing ogg and mp3 (files and streams) and mpg (video files) I have noatun doing ogg only (but I like the sound quality) >> The issues I was dealing with had nothing to do with not-quite-open-source. ... << I wish you were right. But, it appears that some open source applications are not included with RH9 because there is some patented technology involved. I do not work for Redhat. I may not have the correct wording for this. >> There is no sign of the Xine stuff << Nor with my RH9. I got xine from freshrpms.net. I spent a few minutes getting the dependencies worked out. I can provide an RPM list and install script if you need it. >> KDE on my setup cannot play OGG ... << Puzzling, at a minimum noatun and kaboodle should play ogg files out of konqueror. BTW, what does work? >> or am I missing a couple of pieces? << I was, but it wasn't hard to fix.<g> Cliff Kent ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
