slackware upgrade


I used swaret to upgrade my packages from 9.0 to the 9.1 packages. I had downloaded mplayer and wine from linuxpackages. Mplayer's sound didn't work after the upgrade; it gave weird errors about alsa. I recompiled it from source and it worked. Yay! Wine kept randomly crashing and when I recompiled it from source it also worked. Lesson: if all else fails compile it yourself.

I _always_ compile mplayer from source, it's quite sensitive for this (and this upgrade comes with the change of the gcc version, don't forget that!)
