That is strange, I can play ogg-thera videos without problems here! Are
you sure it is really a video file, not just an audio?
But it could also be a problem with the soundcard detection, for
example, if accidentially two drivers are loaded for one card. This
could lockup the sound device. And would be a yet not reported bug in
the hardware detection (hwsetup tries to make sure that onle one driver
is loaded for a device).
Which Knoppix version did you use, btw? Version 5.0.1 should open
ogg-theora videos with kaffeine by default, not XMMS. If it uses xmms,
it's a bug. :-(
The "Schweizer Konsumentenschutz" Knoppix 5.0.0 derivate has several
ogg-videos included. Due to a bug, xine is used for them by default
(which works), but kaffeine also plays them fine as well.
