mplayer32 on debian amd64

Well actually mplayer on 64bit debian is good enough. But today evening I could not play old movie from old CD. After investigating it was clear mplayer cannot find an audio codec:

...
Requested audio codec family [voxware] (afm=dshow) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x75.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!
Audio: no sound
...

But I was absolutely sure everything was nice in the past. The investigation of the issue showed the codec was accessible only for 32-bit version. Therefore I've found fast way to install mplayer32.

Cygwin terminals

A standard Cygwin terminal is not the only one possible. Like most of programs, it has deficiencies - there is no usual operations of copy/paste, in which the text is put directly into the clipboard as soon as it was selected, a fairly limited set of fonts etc. - but in general it will meet most of your queries. From other hand, this is world of open source, so no need to limit yourself by one program.
