That is a misleading error message. Since the "selected video_out device is 
incompatible with this codec", there is no stream, and thus no sound. I 
thought this would be obvious, sorry.

You mean cpu (they aren't yet made by the FSF ;-)). IIRC this is enabled in 
stock RH kernels. I just checked, and DRM is enabled. FB must be enabled or I 
wouldn't see a RH issued (stock kernel) or pengiun (custom kernel) logo when 
booting.

I will look for XVidix, thanks for the tip.
