Strangely enough, I hadn't tested that since it seemed to me that
either the codecs.conf file was getting build-in in MPlayer or not...
The problem being that MPEG-4, MP3, etc.. files played just fine, but
not ogg/vorbis.

I tested your work-around, and indeed, it fixed my problem (while
previously I has using a customised codecs.conf file).

That isn't my case. I never had to copy that file to any directory to
make MPlayer work fine. Therefore I'm puzzled. Why do I have a
problem?
Is there a codecs.conf file (copied in some way by a install script)
flying around my disk that messes up with MPlayer? That's possible.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here...

I do


Anyway, thanks for checking out!
