Hmmmmmm......Thanks for your observations. Here we go again. Not sure I want
to keep two versions of mplayer. They have to catch up on 64 bit, don't
they???? Wonder if I can submit a bug report to mplayer somehow? It's not
only this, it is Flash also in any of the 64 bit web-browsers. I keep a 32
bit version of Opera for that reason. You can install 32 bit versions of just
about anything, but then what is the point of having a 64 bit system? Very
frustrating.
