I am having so much trouble playing mpegs over mplayer.
Previously when I try to play a mpeg file, mplayer used to load up the file and then pause at
the point
alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: default
for about 1 min and then it will play the mpeg file fine.
But suddenly now, it has completely stopped playing mpeg files. It just pauses at the above mentioned point and never starts playing the video.
Here is a typical output
Code:
ditya[MyMusic] 69 > mplayer minivcd.mpg

Here is the output from 'file' command

BTW I am running fc3 (I never had any problems when I had fc2) . I have been able to play other formats fairly easily. Its just mpeg that gives me so much trouble.
I have tried using -vo xv flag. But that doesn't change anything.
Any help would be really appreciated.
