Ok. I do see this to be an issue on systems with ALSA or Pulseaudio, but why the severity grave? This to me seems to merit severity of important. I thought ALSA already handles OSS emulation by default, and it's certainly possible to do the same with Pulseaudio. On top of that, you can set /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf to use any audio output driver as default. -- Regards, Andres Mejia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
