Help here. Using Ubuntu 4.10 and just sucessfully managed to get ALSA software mixing for audio on multiple apps to work. However, I've found that I can no longer hear audio in WMV files. I have w32codecs installed, and I've tried playing files in both MPlayer and gxine, but I can't hear anything from WMV files. This doesn't happen on any other format other than WMV - QuickTime, Real, DivX encoded files and so forth all play fine. Can anybody help here?
Well, I don't get any errors when I run gxine from the terminal. There is sound, but it only happens every few seconds, and it's a short burst of sound before going mute again. And I know I'm not missing any Win32 files - at least none I know of.
And I've managed to figure out the source the problem - the files I've been playing were encoded in WMV7 codec. If I played a WMV8 or 9 file, it played back just fine.
