Randy, It seems I spoke too soon. Both machines had problems. I did the update on my Gentoo AMD64. It worked and I responded to your email. I've now done the flag change on the x86 but it still refuses to provide sound for movies. I notice looking at the flags that the x86 is using win32codecs while the AMD64 isn't so I rebuilt the x86 without win32codec support. Unfortunately it didn't fix the problem on that box. I've copied the current flag sets below. Any other ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Mark For the AMD64: lightning ~ # emerge -pv xine-ui xine-lib These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
