You’re right! It doesn’t have the problem with proper menu 
display/highlighting that I found with VLC.

I only needed some minor tweaks:

* The ALSA detection was broken, it thought I had version 0.5, and asked 
me to get 0.9, when in fact I have 1.0.x.
* Fix a syntax error involving a label at the end of a compound 
statement (just add a semicolon)
* Fix an undefined global (just remove the “static” qualifier)
* Give up on building ifo_dump for now—its function calls don’t match up 
with the current version of /usr/include/ifo.h from libmpeg3-dev.

By the way, don’t you hate packages that do additional building during 
the “make install” step?
