Hi,

I installed Alien BBC beta and mplayer on my headless linux box, to try
to fix chipmunk sounds from SqueezeSlave/local hardware playing NPR
24Kbps radio. I now have different issues playing individual MP3 files.

Background - Fedora 10

SqueezeCenter Version: 7.3.3 - 26557 @ Thu May 14 03:07:12 PDT 2009
Operating system: Red Hat - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: i686-linux
Perl Version: 5.10.0 - i386-linux-thread-multi
MySQL Version: 5.0.77

With Alien BBC beta/mplayer installed and playing music via web
interface/squeezecenter/squeezeslave on the local linux box:
My ripped CDs (native Flac) and NPR play OK.  However all the MP3s I
have in the /Flac directory (that used to play ok - 192 KBps) can be
selected in SqueezeCenter/SqueezeSlave/web interface; they look like
they are playing (time bar progresses) however no sound.

There is an error message on the console display [kfb.localdomain ~]#
Streaming: Launching mplayer -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -cache 128
-af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/3
/storage/music/flac/AC-DC - Back In Black.mp3
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: No such file or directory


With Alien BBC beta/mplayer installed and active, I can toggle between
non-chipmunks or mp3 playing. - See details below

SqueezeCenter/Settings/Advanced/FileTypes
MP3 has two sections, each with two options

FLAC - mplayer.sh/flac or disabled
MP3 -  native or disabled

If I choose FLAC mplayer.sh/flac - then NPR at 24 Kbps plays OK (no
Chipmunks) but individual MP3 files in the flac directory do NOT play
(they just show time advancing but no sound).

If I choose FLAC disabled - then the individual MP3 files play OK but
NPR plays chipmunk.

I hope this is useful.
