Thanks.

I had to modify the patch to get it to compile (you can't initialize an extern
int, you only need to initialize it where it's actually declared in the C file).

I'm still having difficulty with the mplayer versions I've compiled myself
from svn.  I think I have all of the dependencies correct now, but when I use
this version with -demuxer lavf it seems to go into an infinite loop.
(I'll try to
debug this more later.  I'm out of time for today.)

If I skip -demuxer lavf, then the main audio portion of the file seems to play
fine now (2 channel stereo only), but I've got no video at all.  (This is
without specifying -ausid.)

Chritian Marillat's sources, which presumably were used to build the binary
that I had been running, won't even compile for me.
