3gp files, mplayer, and ffmpeg

[Amichai Rotman]

Hi Jaime,

I was successful in playing a 3gp file with sound kinda out of the box...

Here is the output of MPlayer:

I hope this givs you a clue. I did not have to re-compile anything or use
CVS. Try installing ffmpeg and transcode. Also check all the MPlayer
components are installed  (just search them in Synaptics...

Good Luck!
