My system is running Slackware 12.0.  I built both mplayer and ffmpeg
from source.  For ffmpeg, I had to update git and acquire yasm.

Is 6.1 the most recent "stable" release?

I will try 6.1, but I am somewhat concerned about having too many versions
of the same files in various places in the filesystem and the state of
ambiguity that may result. 

Thanks for your help.
