[MPlayer-users] no sound with QuickTime

[Steve Kleene]

I just installed mplayer from RPMs (1.0pre4-2).  I tried to play a QuickTime
video.  The video was fine, but there was no sound.  A popup window
complained, "Cannot find codec for audio format 0x0."  Is this an unsupported
codec?

In general, sound is working on this machine.  The Linux "play" command, for
example, successfully plays a WAV file.

The screen dump is shown below.  I would be grateful for suggestions on how
to resolve the problem.  Thanks.
