[gentoo-user] no sound with mplayer

[pat]

Hello,

Time to time I have problem with mplayer. The sound for some video files doesn't
work (mainly for DVDs). The problem is:
***
Requested audio codec family [a52] (afm=liba52) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Requested audio codec family [ac3] (afm=libac3) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Requested audio codec family [hwac3] (afm=hwac3) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x2000.
***

Please, could someone point me to the solution?

Thanks a lot.

	Pat

You haven't supplied any real information about your system, so it's 
impossible to tell what the problem really is. Based on your error 
message the first thing I'd check is if you have the required codec 
support compiled into mplayer.

Please post the output of 'eix -e mplayer'

Hello,

I think I sent a message I've solved it by adding "a52" to USE list, if I
didn't sent a message about it I apologize to all. And rebuild of cause.

Thanks
