Eddie, Thanks for replying.  I reinstalled libexine1 but kaffeine still 
complains I don't have enough codecs.  Tried your suggestion and installed 
xine-ui. Works beautifully. Been fooling with kaffeine since I upgraded to 
10.0  trying to figure out why it can't find the codecs. Maybe I will just 
give up on it and use xine. Only thing I don't like is that control panel 
thing. Too small for my old eyes.
