That's actually where I got the clips (saw that link on the list before,
probably from you), but I did not see the indicator light go on.  That's why
I am looking for the command line option to do pass through.  My guess is
that mplayer was decoding the data itself.  I screwed around with the
.xinerc to use xine, but that broke it.
