Would you do me a favor and do: rpm -qa |grep xine and reply here or
directly to me? I cannot get xine to play an flv file... it'll play but
it's jerky and no sound. I didn't used to have this problem, so I'd like
to know just what you installed and from where, related to xine. mplayer
and vlc work just fine. Thanx! Ric
