Thank you! i did look in the manual but it was the HUGEST one ive ever
seen and i couldnt find this. Also i didnt know why it had changed for 
me.

Now i see that audio files are being handled by several different 
plugins. i think "plugger" is doing the audio files, even though
mplayerplug-in is also listed as handling some of these files. The
interface for the mplayer plugin is better. Whats the recommended
way for this to be first in the list (that is mplayer plugin works first and
it defaults to plugger otherwise)?

Thanks again!

Jen
