Sounds like time for "lsof" to see what is keeping the sound system busy. Beyond that, while Christian Marillat does an excellent job both on the packages of the archive he maintains and the many packages he maintains in the Debian archives, mplayer (and its variants) is something that I find requires a local build from source to *really* work reliably on any computer I've worked with it. Download the source from http://www.mplayerhq.hu, untar it and from its lead directory, run: ./configure --help | lpr after which you can run debian/rules with the appropriate flags for the type of system you have. It will work much better than what anyone else can package because mplayer is still very machine specific. -- Mark L.
