Be sure to read release notes first if you used one of the older older non-packaged versions.
Very nice, thank you.

As well as handling video nicely, an unexpected extra is that mplayer also plays my Ogg Vorbis files. What's more, it seems to do so more smoothly than the specific Ogg Vorbis Player application, and using negligible CPU. Is this expected? How is mplayer doing this - is it converting to mp3 and then using the DSP, or something like that?
