I'm not sure about this, but sound used to work on ppc, though there have
been some problems. Maybe someone on the xine lists knows more?
Does it always hang? Does it work somitimes, when it's able to initialize
sound? Does it work _only_ when sound is disabled with "-A null"?

This is expected to work, but I think ffmpeg still has some problems on
big endian machines. Any volunteers are welcome ;-)

But that should really work fine...

I think so. But they're not in the database yet, so it will tage a few
dasy before they hit the archive. Maybe 0.5.2 is out till then...
Thanks for testing,
