There is another (working) link:

using the opportunity to remind the list that the corresponding optimized
libtheora is available at konvalo.org, along with mplayer.theora-mmx which
seems to be the fastest decoding tool available for theora right now anywhere.

(it is compiled and setup to work on any Linux 2.6 distro, as well as
on FreeBSD 5.3 and even on NetBSD 2.0, on Intel 32-bit cpus)

You may look at
/coda/konvalo.org/sw/pm/1/TOP/t/theora/V/svn20041118/L/2/NOTES
to see how the library was compiled.
