libsdll is already installed apparently. Is it possible to get all programs to 
go through an SDL wrapper, or can I only use applications that support this 
explicitly??

I'm just messing about at the moment - trying to find ones that work. Kaboodle 
and Noatun got installed automatically with KDE 3.. They play MP3s and wavs 
fine, but when playing mpeg movies, the sound displays the endian problem... 
Different drivers for the different file-types I guess(?)

I've also tried out XMMS. I've downloaded an MPEG video plugin for it, which 
claims to use SDL... and the sound on movies is okay. XMMS can also play 
Amiga MODS via plugins, but these only work if I set them to use 8-bit audio. 
Again, seems like an endian issue.

I'll install mplayer as you suggest. But if I could get something which made 
all the applications work, then that would be best. But maybe that doesn't 
exist :-(
