VLC / Mplayer - Missing dependency - Aspire One

I tried to add VLC to my aspire one but got the following error messages.

Error: Missing Dependency: libpulse.so.0(PULSE_0) is needed by package vlc
Error: Missing Dependency: libopendaap.so.0 is needed by package vlc-core
Error: Missing Dependency: libdvdnav.so.4 is needed by package vlc-core

I gave up and tried to install the new version of mplayer using the instructions from this site:

Great instructions but had similar dependency error messages, including libdvdnavmini.

It took me ages to find the fix, which is detailed on this site:

Read the comment from Praxis on 17th September and just follow his links to install the relevant files. Thanks Praxis!!!
