Hm :S

I've been mistaken, MPlayer is installed by default too, but it don't 
appear in the GNOME-Menu, anyhow, while video is fine, there's no audio 
for the videos. My sound card is detected as  hw:0, I set envy24 
control. Audio settings for Totem seems to be fine. A lot of codecs are 
installed by default, even w64codecs, a package that often isn't 
installed by default. I installed
libmpeg4ip-0 (1:1.6dfsg-0.2ubuntu1)
libdvbpsi4 (0.1.5-3)
libebml0 (0.7.7-3.1)
libiso9660-5 (0.78.2+dfsg1-2ubuntu1)
libmatroska0 (0.8.1-1)
libvcdinfo0 (0.7.23-4ubuntu1)
libvlc0 (0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu3.2)
libxosd2 (2.2.14-1.4)
mpg123 (0.67-1)
mpg123-alsa (0.67-1)
oss-compat (0.0.4)
vlc (0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu3.2)
vlc-nox (0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu3.2)
vlc-plugin-pulse (0.8.6.release.e+x264svn20071224+faad2.6.1-0ubuntu3.2)

and after I did this, audio for videos is fine.

Now using VLC audio for videos is fine, maybe not for all videos. Now 
also audio is fine for Totem. I enabled the MPlayer Plugin for Firefox 
and audio is fine too, but there's no video. Resume: VLC and Totem seems 
to be fine, MPlayer isn't fine for videos.

It would be good to have a non-official package, that will install 
needed stuff for multimedia material using proprietary codecs.

After removing libmpeg4ip-0, mpg123 and mpg123-alsa, everything seems to 
be still fine ;). Installing VLC and dependencies, seems to be 
everything that's needed.

It's always unpleasant to get multimedia players working for new 
installs of many distros and I guess a multimedia distro shouldn't be 
one of those distros. Maybe VLC can be default for 64 Studio, resp. 
maybe there can be a note, that recommend to install VLC or something 
like this.

Cheers,
Ralf
