mp3 problems with SuSE 8.2

I can't get mp3's to play.  I can play cd's.  I can
rip cd's to mp3, ftp them to my WinXP and play them
but they won't play on Linux.  

I recompiled libmad, libid3tag and mplayer.  No luck. 
I get some noise and the player "clock" advances very
slowly or "skips".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
