Your package leaves out "libavcodec" -- that directory is supposed to
be dropped in from out of the "ffmpeg" repository -- and you forgot to
do "mencoder".

Never mind that, though. [S]VCD's with your package work for me! The
plot thickens...

I should mention that I have a couple of patches in my running kernel:
Manuel Bouyer's SiS patch, straight from ticket# 1234, and patches I
posted to tech-kern to fix the audio volume control, but I don't think
that either applies to this.

Both builds do fail the way you describe with a single argument of
"vcd://". You have to use "vcd://2" to play the first mpeg stream,
"vcd://3" to start with the second one, and so on. Is that it?
