The player is really meant for prebuilt virtual machines. You can generate 
config files for it using sites like easyvmx.com and then install an OS into 
your virtual image that way. I finally made it work with Feisty, but I wish 
the audio was multichannel so other audio that comes up won't disturb Orca.
