'mplayer /blah.../blah.mov' plays too fast. I can't slow it down to a proper speed. 'mplayer /blah.../blah.mov -ao null' appears to play at a proper speed w. no sound. Interesting. I can't seem to use mplayer for streaming clips in galeon since I get no sound at all. The process table shows an executing mplayer with options: mplayer -really-quiet -nojoystick -nofs -zoom -vo xv,x11 -ao esd,alsa,oss,arts,null -osdlevel 0 http://url/blah.mov Not sure if this invocation format is coming from plugger or some other place. Looks like mplayer is falling through to the null output driver even though alsa works, and esd is running. Speed appears normal, but no sound. I can't turn up the sound with the number keys. I'm suspicious of the sound card. I have a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS which I ordered which has an emu10K2 with which I've had previous (positive) experience in Linux. I have a split output system here, which makes things a little complicated since I require that it work properly in Linux. Playback of CDs, wav, mp3 and other files from xmms and cd players gets routed to an external amp and a couple of small JBL studio control room monitors. The beeps and bops of gnome sounds indicating desktop actions get routed to a couple of cheap speakers built into my monitor. Getting this split system to work with a new card is always a PITA. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | <http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | -- [email protected] mailing list
