I found a fix for this. It isn't particularly elegant, but follows;
As the webradio plugin appears to ignore much of
the /user/.mplayer/config as well as mplayer settings in freevo (is this
because mplayer is called as '-slave' ?) you need to specify the mplayer
options within the webradio fxd file itself. An example for digital
playback follows;
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<freevo>
<container title="Web Radio" type="webradio">
<audio title="6PR">
<url>http://203.30.47.38/6pr</url>
<cover-img>6PR.jpg</cover-img>
<mplayer_options>-ao alsa:device=hw=0.3 -ac hwac3, -format
512</mplayer_options>
</audio>
</container>
</freevo>
Your required settings will likely be different, but this is where they
can go. Also note that this mplayer_options line must be included with
each station (unless someone can suggest an alternative).
