xmms and xmps go bonkers

[Christoph Groth <cgroth@gmx.net>]

Hello!

My box is running potato r1 with some packages from woody.  I usually
play my mp3s with mpg123 but sometimes I've been using xmms also
(originally it worked!).  But since some time it doesn't function
properly (I cannot recall any possible reason why).  On startup it
says "shared object not open" twice and when I try to play some mp3,
the progress indicator moves very fast (5x the normal speed or so) and
it doesn't produce any sound.  Strange, eh?

Xmps (from woody), I installed yesterday doesn't work properly, too.
The MPEGs have false colors and it shows _two_ small pictures in the
window instead of one.  FLIs have false colors, too and xmps only
displays the upper half of the picture.  I know it's pretty alpha but
anyway...

BTW, do you know some nice AVI player for Linux?  I tried xmps because
I have some AVIs with DIV3 codec and xanim seemingly doesn't handle
those.

It would be nice if someone could help me out,
Christoph
