AC3 codec installed but not working
 

I have an audio problem with VOB files. AC3 codec has been installed and is in system cache which I checked by:

console$> ldconfig -p | grep liba52

output to the command is:
liba52.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/liba52.so.0
liba52.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/liba52.so

Running xine (or other video players) gives a warning about missing AC3 codec. Ignoring the warning plays movie without sound. Sound is working fine with xmms.


Suse 9.1
xine version: v0.9.23
kernel: 2.6.5-7.104-default
a52dec-0.7.4-3.pm.0.i686.rpm

I do not understand why this codec library is not being found, since it is intalled in /usr/lib which is standard directory for libraries. In addition to this, ldconfig also finds it in the cache.

Any help regarding possible solutions or hints (docs, howtos, etc) are appreciated.
