Windos_No_Thanks, perfect, getting Xine worked for me too...

Stephen, thanks also, another mplayer, in case Xine poops out again...

BTW, Windos_No_Thanks, you are soooo right about openning up a pandoras box... I was doing the apt-upgrade, and I had about 5 packages that couldn't be upgraded because of the libasound2 version. So, I went around them, and had them Kept Back. I had everything upgraded and no more updates -=- UNTIL I got that upgrade of libasound2...

NOW -=- shesh, I did the install of libasound2 for Xine to work, and now I've got about 244 packages reporting they can NOW be upgraded. Amazing how much one little package can hold back so many others...

Notably, the packages that were kept back, originally, by the version of libasound2 were:
k3b -=- cant install requires libasound2 v>0.9.8 and 0.9.3-2 is highest
kmix -=- cant install requires libasound2 v>0.9.8 and 0.9.3-2 is highest
konq-plugins -=- cant install requires libasound2 v>0.9.8 and 0.9.3-2 is highest

Oh well, and here I thought I was caught up, just goes to show, and as the ol' saying goes, "no rest for the wicked"...

Thanks again, both of you
