I tried each of them (with the -ao option command line as well as the 
gui control), none seem to make a difference.  There are no errors 
indicted in the output (will post shortly).  Also note that if the 
volume is cranked all the way up (praying for no system sounds to go 
off!!!) you can just barely hear the audio from divx file so I know it 
is able to get it from the files.... just the level is wayyyy to low... 
Again, will post output shortly with a -v or two just to be safe.
