Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy weekend ;) You can just run "mplayer ", if you need to force ALSA (so you can check if it's a problem with ALSA as it was my case) you can add -ao alsa= , so it would be: mplayer -ao alsa Mplayer is usually smart enough to decide what to do without any further action on the user's side, however as someone said it's a very complex program that can do almost anything in which regards playing media files, that's why the man page is such a huge beast. If we manage to identify th= e bug and reproduce it consistently then that's a huge step towards finding= a solution. By the way, what mplayer version are you using? --=20 Jes=C3=BAs Guerrero
