Great. Willing to help on my alpha LX.

Build went through but with some warnings (I did not catch).

My results:
BT.mpg: A longer MPEG-file(1) which both smpeg and mtvp failed on,
with sound. Plays for some time and then segfaults. Picture
quality is poor, but sound quality ok. I don't know where I
got it from.
PrettyWoman.mpg: http://perso.enst.fr/~dauphin/mMosaic/videoref/
800x600 (approx) with sound, several min. Sound perfect (as
far as my wiring/ears allow) video ok (I have the impression a
few more frames are dropped than by mtvp).
IBM-Ad: I got it from the IBM site. avi-file, plays with xanim. xine
just causes seemingly white noise and no video. Is it possible
to use the codes from xanim with xine as well ?
mpeg w/o sound: Xine segfaults.
Interestingly it keeps running when the file is actually no mpeg file
(i.e. a HTML-File just called bla.mpeg).
If you have some test files up for download I can try them of course.
Especially some non-mpeg files which are supposed to run.
I do not have a DVD-drive so I cannot test that part (unfortunately).
If you need more details feel free to contact me.
And thanks for your efforts. It is great to get a free (mpeg/..) on
the alpha since mtvp is quite outdated, closed source and not very
comfortable and smpeg just is too unstable.
Greetings

(1) I forgot to look if it was an mpeg system file or a mpeg stream. I
check that up if necessary.
