Thanks for the explanation: it's a little bit clearer now, even though I am not sure I fully understand its implications. For instance: I use the jack AO, hence I think that everything gets mixed by jackd before being sent to the sound card, and I don't know how mplayer or gnome-mplayer can interfere with this... Oh well, I am probably too ignorant about audio processing! :-( I even failed to configure my system so that I could capture an external audio input (see #523925, #536705, #578309, if you're curious...)

Cloned and forwarded. Thanks! Please let me know how the discussion with upstream develops, since I am having a hard time in understanding their replies (this is not the first time, it seems). -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
