Well, seems I have a little problem I don't know how to handle. I
had installed Sid versions of kmplayer, mozilla-mplayer, mplayer-386

mplayerplug-in and so I purged everything and reinstalled sarge
versions. Now I don't have libaa* sarge versions in apt-cache to
install. I found a sid version of
aalib1 which I purged also. Did an aptitude install -t sarge on each
of the libaa*.debs, picking up the dependencies. Still doesn't seem
to be right. locate libaa gives nothing like you show above.

I did a 'find / libaa' to be sure the cache was updated.
However, If I do ls -l libaa* as root, I get:

I haven't reinstalled mozilla-mplayer or mplayer-386 yet because I'm
still confused over
whether libaa* sarge versions are installed or not. Wonder why I get
different 'locate'
results than you.
I may have misled you with libaa. It's not to be part of the mplayer
package. Googling suggests it's an arithmetic library.
You have libaa in /usr/lib so I don't understand why mplayer can't find
it. The only thing I can suggest is running mplayer with the -vvv
mode and watch the output.
I haven't got any more to offer, I'm afraid. I hope you manage to solve
it.
Good luck,
Nick
Horah, Problem solved. Was confused by getting different "locate" results.
After purging the last sid file, aalib1, I started reloading all the
files that were
removed automatically when I purged aalib1. When that was finished, I
was able
to play audio/video files with realplayer 10 gold, after some repeated
use of 'change
settings' and 'media helper' to select realplayer. The files started
playing with mplayerplug-in
initially before selecting realplayer as default. Got a few browzer
crashes while doing this but
it eventually straightened out. The Sid version of aalib1 apparently
picked upwhen I installed
Sid versions of mozilla-mplayer and mplayer-386 appears to be the
problem as I had already purged
all the Sid files previously installed and reinstalled Sarge versions.
However, I don't understand
why mplayerplug-in wouldn't play the trailers and clips on the original
sarge installation. Mozilla->
Help-> About Plugins still shows the exact identical plug-ins I had on
the original sarge installation.
Another Debconf issue, I guess. I still get a message to the effect
that the player can't find some
helix player plug-in when I first select a trailer, but selecting the
trailer again plays the file with
mplayerplug-in. I have that plug-in, of course. Things are still a
little flakey but at least works.
Nick, thanks for your help. Your suggestions lead me to finding the
last sid file not removed which
apparently got mplayerplug-in working for me.
