Using 1.5.1_BETA for i386. I built devel/smpeg (smpeg-0.4.1). The test
programs plaympeg, gtv, and glmovie don't work for me.

They don't open any windows and just hang. CTRL-C doesn't work and neither
does kill (TERM).

For example:
$ plaympeg /home/reed/audio/schubert_impromptu_in_ebma.mp3
Warning: incorrect audio format
schubert_impromptu_in_ebma.mp3: MPEG audio stream
        Audio MPEG-1 Layer 3 128kbit/s 44100Hz stereo
        Size: 5181986
        Total time: 323.874125

This plays static buzzing and some high-speed music. mpg123 plays it
correctly.

The video files don't give any information.

I have a few video and audio files with mpg and mpeg extensions which work
a little with mpeg_play (but no audio) or mpg123 (for audio).

I ran all the SDL tests (under pkgsrc/devel/SDL/work/SDL-1.1.6/test), but
I didn't notice any problems.

Any success with smpeg? Any ideas?
