Netscape and Mosaic both look for "mpeg_play" to play mpegs already.

Mosaic will play .au files directly if you have a /dev/audio. I don't

*supposedly* the latest Xanim will handle this. See the Xanim home page

http://www.portal.com/~podlipec/home.html

for more info. I haven't had time to build up the new Xanim yet.
