[vlc] Audio filter not found error

[Patrick Riley]

First, thank you to the developers for a great product. I'm very happy
to see the dvd selection menu support in this new version.

I just upgraded to the 0.5.0 from 0.4.4 and did an OS reinstall at the
same time. I am running a slightly atypical version of RH7.1 and
compilied vlc and various libraries from source.

I am unable to get audio playback working. I have tried to play
several mpg files as well as DVDs, all with no success.

Here is my configure line
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --enable-gnome --enable-gtk --enable-fb --enable-esd --enable-dvdread --disable-dvbpsi --enable-a52 --enable-dvdplay -with-dvdcss=/usr/local --with-dvdread=/usr/local --with-dvdplay=/usr/local --with-a52=/usr/local --enable-debug

Below, I have included the full output of the following command
vlc --verbose 2 -A esd AlienSong.mpg
(AlienSong.mpg is available at
http://gs231.sp.cs.cmu.edu/pfr/AlienSong.mpg 
)
but the following messages seem to be the most important:

Does anyone know what might be going wrong? The error messages are
somewhat cryptic to me. Thank you for any help you can give.
