After having successfully RPMed w32 codec and created a symbolic link as:
ln -s /usr/lib/codecs /usr/lib/win32
I am unable to play my .avi files. On double-clicking the file, Xine opens and closes abruptly. And in the terminal I get following message:
[root@workstation ~]# xine
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.
(c) 2000-2006 The xine Team.
xine: relocation error: /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.1.3/xineplug_ao_out_alsa.so: sym bol snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_resample, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file li basound.so.2 with link time reference
Going through a few posts in LQ I was able to figure out that the problem could be solved by running xine as,
xine -V Xshm -A oss
But that was cumbersome as I'd have to type that everytime I needed to open an AVI file. Searching further I found out what you posted - making the same changes in the settings of xine from GUI. My video and audio drivers were earlier set to auto and I made that to oss and Xshm respectively. Now things seem okay.
