No, I didn't.  It looked like the first mention of the failure was so long ago,
I assumed Dag would have knowledge of it.  Also, if you follow the path
to the x86_64 version of Dag's mplayer RPM, you wind up with a i386-labeled
version.  So, this leaves me confused as to what to report:  

 1. Uhhh, Dag - your x86_64 mplayer RPM is screwed-up.
 2. The x86_64 mplayer RPM won't install due to Dep. libxmms.so.1.
 3. Whatever....

The response is just likely to be, "Compile it yourself.", which is what I did
and that produces a working mplayer.  Software engineers would respond,
"Working as designed.  No trouble found."

I just want the skins to be something other than ALL BLUE!
