+ The package is called "essential". Unpack it and move everything you
+ find inside to <filename>/usr/lib/codecs</filename> and set the
+ <parameter>decoder.external.real_codecs_path</parameter> in your xine config file
+ to <filename>/usr/lib/codecs</filename> (actually you can place them
+ anywhere you want, e.g. someplace in your home directory, but then you'll
+ have to set <parameter>decoder.external.real_codecs_path</parameter> accordingly).
