I am preparing my system to install mythtv .21 for the first time (from the tar ball). I will likely have many questions. My first is: The documentation (based on mythtv .21) states to install lame by downloading version 3.96 tar ball. I am running Ubuntu 8.10 which has a lame 3.98 package. Should this work or is 3.96 a hard requirement for mythtv .21. Mike
