[TriLUG] Sorta OT: Corrupted OGG files

[Brian Henning]

Hmmmm...  didn't know about ogg123, but that seems to play them 
normally.  So that means there's something wrong with xmms' ogg player?

Hmm..  On further inspection, it looks like the libvorbis module xmms is 
using is a minor version and change higher than xiph.org's official 
stable release (1.2.10 vs 1.1.2)..  Should I try to replace my installed 
1.2.10 with xiph's official 1.1.2?

And Hm.  I tried some simple symlinking tricks to replace XMMS's 
libvorbis.so with the system libvorbis.so (which is the official release 
version) and failed..  Any suggestions?

Thanks!
~B
