[MPlayer-users] Mono sound on DVDs is borked in 0.60-release?

[John Fremlin]

With 0.60pre2 playing my Casablanca DVD works fine, with 0.60 it
doesn't play sound. I compiled in different ways so maybe I munged
something. My platform is linux 2.4.17.

(BTW, the configure script is borked: in its search for DGA it doesn't
include the appropriate X libraries (-lX11 -lXext seem to fix it) in
the command line. Further the configure script should honour CFLAGS
and LDFLAGS and definitely CC.)

Here is the relevant from 0.60:
