mplayer is pulling in 83 dependencies! I think I'll look for something a bit more self-contained.
I don't understand that reaction to packaging. mplayer uses a variety of libraries to support a large variety of media types. It doesn't include servers or SUID binaries, so it doesn't carry a significant security risk, and it doesn't consume much disk space. It doesn't make any more sense that complaining about the number of files in a package. (NOTE: "filesystem" contains 15000+ files! DON'T REMOVE IT!)
If you want to support mp3 only, then try mpg123 or madplay http://www.mpg123.de/index.shtml http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/
mpg123 installed from the nux repo and runs, but I'm not getting any audio. It looks like I may be missing drivers or something. When I run mpg123 in verbose mode, I get this:
Audio driver: alsa Audio device: <none>
Any suggestions as to where to go from here?
