./mplayer -ao help

MPlayer SVN-r29205-4.3.2 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
Available audio output drivers:
	oss	OSS/ioctl audio output
	alsa	ALSA-0.9.x-1.x audio output
	mpegpes	DVB audio output
	v4l2	V4L2 MPEG Audio Decoder output
	null	Null audio output
	pcm	RAW PCM/WAVE file writer audio output

versus

/usr/bin/mplayer -ao help
MPlayer SVN-r27937 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team

Available audio output drivers:
	oss	OSS/ioctl audio output
	alsa	ALSA-0.9.x-1.x audio output
	arts	aRts audio output
	esd	EsounD audio output
	pulse	PulseAudio audio output
	jack	JACK audio output
	sdl	SDLlib audio output
	mpegpes	DVB audio output
	v4l2	V4L2 MPEG Audio Decoder output
	null	Null audio output
	pcm	RAW PCM/WAVE file writer audio output

Are there cross-dependencies? In particular, I don't have PulseAudio 
running, which might be a bit unusual.

Axel, thanks for the suggestion of yum-builddep. My repo does not have 
atrpms-source, so I need to go looking for that.
