3gp files, mplayer, and ffmpeg

[Jaime Davila]

Hello all,

I'm trying to set up mplayer under breezy so I can open 3gp files 
created with the digital camera of a cell phone. I did some searching 
and found this page: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=178455
but I'm having trouble using cvs to check out the ffmpeg source. The 
command:
cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg co ffmpeg
returns:
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to mplayerhq.hu(213.144.138.186):2401 
failed: Connection refused
every time I've tried it.

Any ideas on how I check out ffmpeg? Is it just that the mpayerhq cvs 
server is down?

Even better, anyone knows any other way to get mplayer to play 3gp files 
with sound under ubuntu? I _do_ get the video part OK.

BTW, I've already tried realplayer, which is supposed to do the trick, 
but it doesn't. I get error:
Invalid parameter. Unable to process request.
if I try to open a 3gp file with realplay, even though it works for 
other files.

Also, xine has the same issue as mplayer: video OK, no sound.

TIA,

Jaime
