now completely GPL too), but i don't think it's yet made its way
into debian in any case.  *however*, mplayer ships with a
./debian directory, letting debian users create their own debs
from the latest cvs source, and i think there are a few pre-made
debs on the net as well.

you can add

deb http://marillat.free.fr/ stable main

to /etc/apt/sources.list
and do

# apt-get install mplayer

I've never gotten this to work.. In my sources I have:
deb http://marillat.free.fr/ testing main

but apt-get install mplayer returns
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package mplayer

any ideas?

thanks,
leo

before the "apt-get install" you should do "apt-get update" so that apt-get knows of what you added to /etc/sources.list
i forgot to mention it before

when i tried to install this the first time the server stopped responding but right afterwards it worked fine
