Ahh, thanks for that, its nice to know that it CAN work on an ARM, its
just a matter of getting to right software.

I did find a webpage which said that mplayers reverse-engineered real
codec won't work on a FPU-less chip, but even if this is so, I'd expect
a failure message of "this codec is not supported on this architecture"
instead of the goggledegook I did get. I'll read up on logging a bug in
Debian.

Apparently the Helix player has a FPU-less codec, but I'll have to
(cross) compile it from source as they don't provide ARM packages.
