Ludo,

Well you are a little beyond me here... I would guess that maybe you
need to add pam_ldap.so to the list of pam modules?? I have not done
much work with LDAP. Either that or I can add

user=3D
passwd=3D

To the mplayerplug-in.conf file and then just pass them in on every
call. Would that be worth trying?
