All is resolved for me.  I had a copy of audacity in /usr/local/bin and 
so it was running
whenever I invoked audacity instead of the version in /usr/bin.  After 
removing that,
the rpm that I built from your src.rpm now plays ogg and wav and mp3 
files. 
i.e. your src rpm for fedora 8 works on fedora 7.

Thank you.
