Randy,
   It seems I spoke too soon. Both machines had problems. I did the
update on my Gentoo AMD64. It worked and I responded to your email.
I've now done the flag change on the x86 but it still refuses to
provide sound for movies.

   I notice looking at the flags that the x86 is using win32codecs
while the AMD64 isn't so I rebuilt the x86 without win32codec support.
Unfortunately it didn't fix the problem on that box.

   I've copied the current flag sets below. Any other ideas are appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
