a problem with arts and mplayer

Hi
when I use mplayer this error occures.
the error message windows title is : ""Error - artsmessage""
and the content is
{
Sound server fatal error:
AudioSubSystem::handleIO: write failed
len = 4092, can_write = 4094, errno = 17 (File exists)
This might be a sound hardware/driver specific problem (see aRts FAQ)
}
what should I do?

Thanks,
Mohammad

I think it's a specific hardware/driver problem as mentioned. but give another try by running it ith diffrent audio output engine.

Code:

mplayer -ao <engine> /your/movie/file

You can get full list of supported engines by running

Code:

mplayer -ao help

e.g.:

Code:

mplayer -ao oss my_movie.avi

mplayer -ao sdl my_movie.avi

mplayer -ao alsa my_movie.avi

mplayer -ao esd my_movie.avi #run esd before by typing 'esd &`

good luck

That doesn't work

Hi

I ran:

Code:

mplayer -ao oss samplefile.wma

but it shows me the same warning. :(

Thanks,
Mohammad
