[MPlayer-users] Trouble running mplayer as user

[Alexander Beurts]

HI,
I am very persistent in using linux but have run into a brick
wall trying to figure out what is wrong with how I installed
Mplayer. I use Fedora Core1 in combination with Mozilla 1.4.1,
and installed the latest rpms for mplayer:

mencoder-1.0pre3-1.i386.rpm
mplayer-codecs-extralite-1.0-1.i386.rpm
mplayer-common-1.0pre3-1.i386.rpm
mplayer-gui-1.0pre3-1.i386.rpm
mplayer-skin-default-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
mplayer-vidix-1.0pre3-1.i386.rpm
mplayer-vidix-radeon-1.0pre3-1.i386.rpm

As well as the plugin:
mplayerplug-in-1.0-1.fc1.i386.rpm

I installed mencoder, mplayer-common and mplayer-gui using
rpm-Uvh with root privileges

The problems I'm having are :
1) Cannot run gmplayer as a user.
2) I can run it as root but with no sound at all

Below I included the log results:
