installing a deb package

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Thanks Kenny, and Sean too.

Okay, for the moment I have been able to build and install mplayer 
1.0-pre7 with the supplied debian script, with options to disable the 
gui and the auto detection of the CPU. But still I am not getting alsa 
support. Here is the list of audio output devices:

Available audio output drivers:
         mpegpes DVB audio output
         oss     OSS/ioctl audio output
         null    Null audio output
         pcm     RAW PCM/WAVE file writer audio output

Seems to me there were enough other improvements and bug fixes to 
justify using 1.0-pre7 over pre6, even if it means using the oss driver, 
so that is my current plan.

Now to see what kind of mileage I get with this baby.
