John: From Linux desktop, click VirtualBox, start XP, open IE, url to conference call, click on link. VOILA!!! Instant sound on the desktop under Linux with WMP. I just tested it on my system and it works here. "Never use a flat blade screwdriver to remove a phillips screw" In other words, use the right tool for the job and don't get hung up on the brand name. mplayer is a wonderful program but it does have it's limitations, especially with Yahoo, who is in bed with Billy boy Gates. I got tired of banging my head against the wall and added VirtualBox to my system. It solved most, if not all, of those problems AND the headaches went away. The only problems that I have had with VB is that there are some apps that use direct-x that won't work with the software video card and the USB ports aren't seen as connecting to the virtual machine. I can, however, add them as samba shares on the host and then they are then seen as networked shares.
