According to http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2010-May/079934.html
this symptom is caused by the outdated version of openal-soft shipped
in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The remarks in that thread are unfortunately
ignorant of the fact that the tag date for 1.12.854 was Tue, 30 Mar
2010 05:05:21 +0000 (22:05 -0700), which was much too close to Lucid's
release date. Also importantly, unless there is a significantly
compelling reason, the Lucid development cycle synced directly
(without any Ubuntu changes) from Debian testing. Please note that of
this writing, the version of openal-soft in Debian testing *and*
unstable remains the precise version that shipped in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:

Just out of curiosity, did he refer the 1.12.854 version? Am I right in
saying that the version which is hideously broken is the 1.11.753?

If so, it doesn't seem to mention this fact in the 1.12.854 release
notes which I find confusing.

I'm not that familiar with openal-soft so can't really comment, but I
want to make sure we avoid any similar problems (considering there are
enough other problems right now...)

This is an interesting point, indeed. I do recommend contacting Reimar for further details. I can only offer my system for testing - that is, if there's any package of openal available that might fix this issue, then I shall be told, to see if it does really fix the issue I am reporting, or not.


Best regards,
Mihai
