[gentoo-user] Xine and Mplayer Sound problems

[sean]

Recently whenever I try to play a CD, or a file such as an .avi, Xine
instead generates a xine-out.wav and no sound. The video portion looks
perfect.
If I play the xine-out.wav, it is the audio track from the file I tried
to play.

Trying to play that same .avi with Mplayer yields a pop-up window.
It reports an error, "DVB card number must be between 1 and 4.
Like Xine, the video portion displays without problems.

Anyone have any ideas on possible causes?

Trying something like Ekiga, which has sound and video, works without
problems.

		Thanks
