Problem with win32-codecs 2.0.99

[Dwayne MacKinnon]

Hello,

I'm running MPlayer 1.0pre4-2.95.4 on FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE. After upgrading 
the win32-codecs port I discovered that the audio on my Quicktime files would 
no longer work. The following is the audio output when I tried to play a 
Quicktime Spider-Man 2 trailer that worked fine before the upgrade.

=============================================

As I still had the dist files for the older version of the win32-codecs port, 
I manually replaced the qt65dlls-20040704 files with the older qt6dlls files. 
At that point I tried the trailer again, and it worked perfectly. For 
comparison purposes, here's the output from the successful try.

==========================================================================

I suspect that it's possible that /usr/local/share/mplayer/codecs.conf needs 
to be updated somehow to work with the newer qt65dlls files. However, I don't 
know too much about how mplayer reads codecs and finds the right ones, so I'm 
not sure. 

Cheers,
