Well, I ripped everything out by the roots, like those screaming
Mandrakes at Hogswarts, and tossed 'em. Re-installed using enablerepo
livna install xine*. Still jerking and no sound again. Maybe if xine
wasn't in extras at all, since we're all petty crooks when it comes to
mp3's and shall surely burn in H E double hockey sticks, then we'd get
the REALLY GOOD STUFF to satisfy our less than noble urges from a
repo. :) Ric
