Hopefully your card will work when you try it with mplayer :) Seems like you have setup everything right. You might want to run em8300setup -d btw, then you'll be able to get both ac3 and pcm sound. I get the flicker on the tv everytime I reboot / reinitialize the card, so that's normal. You should be able to play almost everything with your dxr3 card. All mpeg1/2 streams should work fine. You can also play xvid/divx. etc with mplayer, it renders the movie to mpeg on the fly. :)).
