I am the author of the message :) Thanks for the help !"I have found a solution to that problem : updating alsa to the latest RC7 release. The sound then works perfectly with mplayer after recompiling alsaRC7 myself, using the source of the latest kernel (2.4.21.0.11mdk). It recompiled without any problem."
(comment on Bugzilla bug 2432, which isn't exactly my problem, but
is clearly another problem with the ALSA in the current kernel).
Alsa is now released as RC7, but Mandrake kernel is still using
RC6. I had problems with audio using snd-emu10k1 so far. But
recompiling the latest RC7 myself solved the problem.
However, I did not try to recompile the RC6, so I do not know if it
is a problem of versions or of some options used to compile. I
compiled ALSA with default options : ./configure, make and make
install. No special options, it installed like a charm, and solved
all problems (choppy sound with -ao oss and -ao alsa9).
Since emu10k1 is very used, I recommend it to be corrected. Pleasevote for that bug 2432, since it has only one vote (mine), it is
still "unconfirmed". Another vote will make it "confirmed".
strange, 2.4.21-0.pre4.4mdk should have alsa rc7
I recompiled yesterday the latest ALSA release RC8a, and it solved my problems with my creative SB Live card. I hope it will be put in the final mandrake.
