[root@resistance root]# apt-get install alsaplayer audacity mpg321 
rosegarden4 sweep terminatorX

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   alsaplayer: Depends: libmad.so.0
   audacity: Depends: libmad.so.0
   mpg321: Depends: libmad.so.0
   rosegarden4: Depends: libmad.so.0
   sweep: Depends: libmad.so.0
   terminatorX: Depends: libmad.so.0
E: Broken packages
[root@resistance root]#

That means that the file isn't there, right?

[root@resistance root]# ls /usr/lib/libmad.*
ls: /usr/lib/libmad.*: No such file or directory
[root@resistance root]#

Sorry, I guess that I should have done that or been more clear from the 
beginning.

Peace,
