Bug#804349: mplayer2: pulseaudio output poor quality
Package: mplayer2 Version: 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4+b1 Followup-For: Bug #804349 Ok, so now I see the problem with pulseaudio/ALSA with USB sound card. So not OSS specific or sound-card specific. There is some mplayer <-> pulse incompatibility. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (171, 'unstable'), (151, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mplayer2 depends on: ii liba52-0.7.4 0.7.4-18 ii libasound21.0.29-1 ii libass5 0.13.0-1 ii libavcodec56 6:11.4-1~deb8u1 ii libavformat56 6:11.4-1~deb8u1 ii libavresample26:11.4-1~deb8u1 ii libavutil54 6:11.4-1~deb8u1 ii libbluray11:0.9.1-1 ii libbs2b0 3.1.0+dfsg-2.1 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libcaca0 0.99.beta19-2 ii libcdio-cdda1 0.83-4.2 ii libcdio-paranoia1 0.83-4.2 ii libcdio13 0.83-4.2 ii libdca0 0.0.5-7 ii libdirectfb-1.2-9 1.2.10.0-5.1 ii libdv41.0.0-6 ii libdvdread4 5.0.3-1 ii libenca0 1.16-2 ii libfaad2 2.8.0~cvs20150510-1 ii libgif4 4.1.6-11 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 11.0.5-1 ii libjack-jackd2-0 [libjack-0.116] 1.9.10+20150825git1ed50c92~dfsg-1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.4.1-2 ii liblcms2-22.6-3+b3 ii liblircclient00.9.0~pre1-1.2 ii libmad0 0.15.1b-8 ii libmpg123-0 1.22.4-1 ii libogg0 1.3.2-1 ii libpng12-01.2.50-2+b2 ii libpostproc52 6:0.git20120821-4 ii libpulse0 7.1-2 ii libquvi7 0.4.1-3 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-12 ii libsmbclient 2:4.1.17+dfsg-4 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1.2-1 ii libswscale3 6:11.4-1~deb8u1 ii libtheora01.1.1+dfsg.1-7 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20151024-2 ii libvdpau1 1.1.1-3 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.4-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b1 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1 ii libxv12:1.0.10-1+b1 ii libxvidcore4 2:1.3.4-1 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.4-1 ii zlib1g1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 mplayer2 recommends no packages. mplayer2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

Bug#804349: mplayer2: pulseaudio output poor quality
Package: mplayer2 Followup-For: Bug #804349 Hello, installing an USB sound card resolves the problem with ALSA sound driver and alsa can be used for non-bluetooth oputput. With pulse/ALSA there is no problem. So the problem is specific to using pulse/OSS.

Bug#804349: mplayer2: pulseaudio output poor quality
Package: mplayer2 Version: 2.0-728-g2c378c7-4+b1 Severity: normal Hello, I routed my audio through pulse so that I can make use of bluetooth audio when connected. When playing though pulse to OSS sound card I get all kind of cracking and popping. This goes away when using the OSS card directly. I did not notice any issue with xmms2 using pulse output. I cannot use ALSA with the sound card because there is some floating input causing noise and alsa does not provide the mute control to turn it off. I am not sure what is with the missing dependencies. The swscale3 library is definitely there: $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libswscale.so.3 libswscale3:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libswscale.so.3 $ dpkg -s libswscale3:amd64 Package: libswscale3 Status: deinstall ok installed Priority: optional Section: libs Installed-Size: 365 Maintainer: Debian Multimedia Maintainers Architecture: amd64 Multi-Arch: same Source: libav Version: 6:11.4-1~deb8u1 Depends: libavutil54 (>= 6:11~beta1), libc6 (>= 2.14) Pre-Depends: multiarch-support Description: Libav video scaling library Libav is a complete, cross-platform solution to decode, encode, record, convert and stream audio and video. . This is the video software scaling library from Libav. Homepage: http://libav.org/ Any idea how can mplayer output sound through pulse reliably? iirc I had some pulse problems with mplayer earlier whic I resolved by removing pulse from my system. With BT audio pulse seems unavoidable, unfortunately.
