thp; Thanks for your help -- I appreciate you taking the time to answer my trivial question.

Beware, though, the gPodderWiki gives some slightly misleading advice. In the 'Options related to playing podcasts with a portable player', the section on the N8xx simply states that the maemo_allow_custom_player and videoplayer need to be set.

The reader needs to be careful to read even further into the document to discover (in 'Listening/Watching a podcast') that 'you have to specify the "player" command in addition...'.

Wanna guess where I stopped reading? :-)

Going to download the latest now... Thanks!
