  You can pass --disable-plugin at configure time to not build it. 
Those two files will probably be checked in later tonight, but they've 
been removed from the Makefile.am in CVS for now. Those are my "working 
versions" of the player as a plugin. They currently have a bug I want to 
fix before checking them in. They should not required to build the 
current version of the plugin.

  Currently the plugin is only suitable for developer use, although I'm 
working on change that... The standalone player does work, so when the 
plugin is more complete, it'll have all the functionality of the 
standalone player.

  The sound support exists, but has been untested for so long it 
doesn't work. I don't believe it would be hard to fix it, but at this 
time I want to get the plugin working before fixing sound. I'll gladly 
take a patch from anyone that feels like going after this though. :-) I 
did fix the configure code last night so libmad is found and in the 
Makefiles correctly, but haven't dug into the code itself yet.
