Hi, I've noticed that my mozilla mplayer plugin shows video but lacks audio. I've downloaded and installed all available codecs in /home/adam/.mplayer/codecs with no change. I've easily played MP3's via XMMS, so it's not hardware.
Starting mplayer in text mode as root gives me
Tux:~# mplayer
MPlayer 1.0pre3-3.3.3 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel Celeron 2/Pentium III Coppermine,Geyserville 2559 MHz (Family: 6, Ste pping: 3)
Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes
CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0
Compiled for Debian.
Reading config file /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
Reading config file /root/.mplayer/config
Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: Can't open '/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory
Reading /etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: 61 audio & 169 video codecs
Usage: mplayer [options] [url|path/]filename
Basic options: (complete list in the man page)
-vo <drv[:dev]> select video output driver & device ('-vo help' for a list)
-ao <drv[:dev]> select audio output driver & device ('-ao help' for a list)
vcd://<trackno> play VCD (Video CD) track from device instead of plain file
dvd://<titleno> play DVD title from device instead of plain file
The main problem seems to be the config file.
Currently it looks like
I'm confused about how to set up an appropriate config file.Tux:~# cd ~/.mplayer Tux:~/.mplayer# ls Skin config
On the one hand 'man mplayer' tells me that a user specific '~/.mplayer/config' takes precedence but the default config for the input system is '~/.mplayer/input.conf'
The example '~/.mplayer/config' in 'man mplayer'
EXAMPLE: # Use Matrox driver by default. vo=xmga # I love practicing handstands while watching videos. flip=yes # Decode/encode multiple files from png, # start with mf://filemask mf=type=png:fps=25
does not show me how to proceed in my situation.
Could someone post a realistic config template, focusing on audio ?

If you can play sound with mplayer alone but not as a mozilla plugin, you should configure properly the file /etc/mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf
audio can be chosen with the line ao=esd, or ao=arts, etc...
