Did you resolve any audio problems in the process? On a Ubuntu amd64
I've been able to get it to build (required a few extra configure
options and packages) and play movies, but it cannot do (output it would
seem) audio. Otherwise the system audio works fine.  I tried running vlc
0.7 too, per some post on the internet. Cant get it to work.

BTW - mplayer was easier to build on this box, but the system locks hard
with garbage (same garbage every time) on the screen. maybe I need to
remove some capabilities from XF86config?
