Re: [gentoo-user] turning off irrelevant mplayer errorFIXED?
So did you set ao=alsa in /etc/mlayer.conf (~/.mplayer/config should work too)? No, I uncommented ao=sdl:esd. So now I've set ao=alsa and that's a definite improvement. Both gui and command line work OK. Thanks Bo. I note the mplayer man page is 6700 lines long. Is there something out there less cumbersome? $info mplayer is the same. -Maxim Want to start your own business? Learn how on Yahoo!

Ahh its so nice to have answered someone elses question for a change :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Whoa! I typed too soon. It doesn't work if I enter $ mplayer -playlist myplaylist.pla. It just scrolls through the list without a sound. Ctrl-C kicks me out. However $gmplayer -playlist myplaylist.pla works. BTW, what's this .mplayer/gui.pl? How did it get written? I never knowingly did it. And when I point gmplayer at it it scrolls like mplayer did but ctrl-c causes it to crash. Now there's black gmplayer shaped hole on my desktop and running kill on the PID doesn't work. Maxim Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
