general config/install questions
Ok, I am a newbie. To mythtv and somewhat to Linux. I am going to try and
document my troubles, solutions, pitfalls and successes with this so we can
spread the word and make things easier. I am reading everything I can and
will continue to do so, so please be patient. Here is the first of my many
questions. Below is the output I get when I run ./configure.

[root@localhost mythtv-0.5]# ./configure
Install prefix /usr/local
Source path /usr/local/src/mythtv-0.5
C compiler gcc
make make
CPU x86
Big Endian no
MMX enabled yes
gprof enabled no
zlib enabled yes
mp3lame enabled no
a52 support yes
a52 dlopened no

#1. What is Big Endian and should I have it?

#2. I have gprof, why is it not enabled? Config file I missed? Do I need
to have it enabled.

#3. mp3lame enabled. Is this required? I downloaded mp3lame, compiled,
tested and installed it ok, but it does not show up? Did I need to make
another config change?

#4. a52 support? What is it?

#5. a52 dlopened? Again, what is it? Do I need it? Were would I get it?

Thanks for any and all help. If I missed the answers to these questions
somewhere, sorry.

Just ignore all that.
