Mplayer Audio Device
 

Just compiled Mplayer for an Ubuntu system last night.

I threw these options to the compiler:

I then followed it up by installing a default font, along with a default skin (Xmms)

The only problem is that with EVERY thing (MP3, avi, wmv, mpg, and anything else you can name) I open I get a

I prefer ALSA sound if possible but it seems it is not even listed in the Audio preferences tab. The onlything in the audio tab is:

mpegp
oss
null
pcm

The only one of these I can pick without getting the error is PCM but then the movie/song runs 500X faster then normal.

Any ideas?:scratch:

Thanks in Advance!

Recompile with --enable-alsa? I guess it didn't build in the support or something, you might need to install a alsa-devel style package first, not sure with Fedora.

Thanks, I was not aware of the fact that --enable-alsa is even an option to pass during compile. I will give it a try.

Thanks!
 

Thanks alot man, it turns out the reason why it was not automatically passing alsa to be built was because I was missing the ALSA dev package. I am switching over from Fedora and in Fedora it was always called ASLA-devel, but in Ubuntu its called ALSA-Source, so that is why I missed it. But I downloaded it, rebuilt, and installed and now it works like a champ.

You made my day! I can now watch my Music vids! :) :)

Glad I could help :)
