kmplayer can get in the middle, can you -please- test regular mplayer from |
| 42 |
command line? |

I've had a similar issue a couple of weeks ago, and we were able to track |
| 45 |
it down on the mplayer mailing lists. If it's the same bug, I was able to |
| 46 |
consistently reproduce it in streams with ac3 (5.1) audio (stereo worked |
| 47 |
fine), and only when using ALSA. So, check that and see if you can see a |
| 48 |
pattern there. If you see that same pattern, then it might be the same bug, |
| 49 |
it's been fixed in the development branch, and the following ebuilds should |
| 50 |
work fine: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
1.0_rc4_p20091026, 1.0_rc4_p20091026-r1, 9999 |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
If not, then it's probably something else. But try with mplayer alone when |
| 55 |
debugging, since kmplayer just adds another level to worry about. For your |
| 56 |
reference, here's the bug I opened, there you can also find links to the |
| 57 |
relevant mails in the mplayer ML. |
