After installing mplayer on 9.04 and trying to watch a movie I was geting this error message flashing continiously, I solved the problem by going to preferences, audio and changing it from "alsa" to "pulse".
Perhaps, given 9.04 is using pulse audio and that's the setting that makes mplayer behave, the default sound driver in mplayer in 9.04 should be changed to pulse?? -- [AO_ALSA] Unable to find simple control 'PCM' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276957 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
