I've seen mention of biarch and multiarch since I started using Fedora
x86_64... what exactly is it? (in the context of Ubuntu, especially).

Is the plan to just add more stuff to ia32-libs? That doesn't look
especially scalable either (I'm just grabbing the source package now...
ouch ;)

If I'm going to get mplayer going I'd rather do it in a way that's useful
than not, so if you point me in the right direction I'll see what I can
do.

Cheers,
