Thanks very much! With the version of mplayer I built from source 
yesterday I was able to watch the video with sound using

mplayer -demuxer lavf filename.ts

If you are still interested in chasing down the freeze that I had using 
the mplayer I built from source and trying just "mplayer filename.ts", 
could you let me know what level of verbosity you want for the console 
output ie the command line to use?

Regards,

Arthur.
