mplayer playback problem

[Igor Gueths]

Hi all. I know mplayer has been mentioned in the past, but I haven't seen
the following problem occuring. Well here goes. When I go to play a divx
file using the alsa9 output driver, the avi will play for about 30 seconds
and freeze midstream. It won't play the mp3 portion properly. I understand
that alsa support isn't stable in mplayer yet, so it was understandable
that I got some pops and clicks through my speakrs. However, when I tried
mplayer -vo null -ao oss incoming/file.avi, I got the same result, but
without the clicks. I have the oss emulation modules loaded, so I am
assuming that they are being used? I have player 0.90pre3-2.95. Has anyone
experienced a similar problem and if so how can I remedy it? Thanks in
advance,
Igor
