Just out of interest, why do you have the chroot's library paths in your
ld.so.conf path? Is it to save yourself from having to use
schroot/dchroot to launch an application? I would advise against that,
although I have no firm reasoning as to why!
Mainly for Mplayer, to go about the "transparent" method of launching it
through a shell script using schroot (substituted for dchroot) documented here:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/356
It really works quite well to "fool" Mplayer-plugin into launching the
32-bit version of Mplayer when viewing embedded content, which used to
make _almost _as much multimedia content viewable as nspluginwrapper
(now even CNN's gone to Flash video...). For that matter, it also works
well for viewing/encoding the odd video from the command line.

Hi.
I think that mplayerplug-in is very usable without a chroot. I use it
on this system to watch all sorts of media from quicktime to realmedia
to wmv, asf, etc. I've gotten the packages from the
debian-multimedia.org repositories (mplayer, mplayerplug-in, etc) and
the realmedia (essential) codecs (for 64bit) off the mplayer site.
I installed the codecs in /usr/lib/codecs and everything works nicely
without a chroot. ;-)
