Well, I don't really know for sure, but I think it's alsa, since when I 
installed FC2, I had to move some of the levels using alsamixer.

Integrated sound card on ASUS A7V8X-X mobo, ADI1980 6-Channel Audio

For those trailers that are at the apple.com/trailers site, I'm using 
the mozilla plug-in for mplayer. When I start it from the terminal, I 
use mplayer.

Yes -- I think now that the problem is with an audio codec, because when 
I downloaded the full-screen Spiderman II trailer from the 
apple.com/trailer site, and unzip it, and attempt to play it locally, I 
get the same symptoms: nice video, but no sound at all.

 From the output below, and my reading the 
/user/share/DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html file, it looks like there are no 
codecs defined locally. However, if I understand this reference, 
correctly, mplayer must be compiled with the codecs. Did these codecs 
not come in with the #yum install mplayer* ? Is there a way to correct 
this with yum?

Thanks,
Clint
