No video, sound only.

It seems that vo isn't available on my system.  With nosound option, it
doesn't even start.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  This is the version of gcc that comes
with F17.  I think there is a gcc 3 something compatibility package
available, but I probably don't have it installed.  I didn't mention
the compiler version since it seems to be in the output of mplayer when
it starts, right after the version.

$ rpm -qi gcc

I'll take the CPU hit to get the extra functionality. :-)
