I don't want to allow Helix, so I just may as well rpm -e the #^#@#$% and be rid of it so that mplayer can do the job. Like Claude, I have mplayer configured everywhere that helix lived and is supposed to be started first. I may have to remove all other apps as potential candidates... just mplayer alone.
