mplayer (mp3 audio) since upgrade to FC6

[Russell McOrmond]

   I just recently upgraded to Fedora Core 6.  I have the mplayer 
binaries from freshrpms that were compiled for FC6  (yum automatically 
gets them).

   The problem is that MP3 (MPEG 1.0 layer III) doesn't seem to work 
right any more.   I get sound, but it has all this garbage overlaying 
it.  It doesn't matter if it is an MP3 file (audio only) or an MPEG 
video that include layer III audio.

   Playing AAC files works fine.

   Is the codec for MP3 audio included in mplayer, or is it a separate 
library?

   I also have mpg321 that also came from freshrpms and it works fine.
