I had a similar situation. "mplayer -ao oss " worked, but "-ao alsa" or "pulse" just left mplayer hanging there. I removed .pulse, killall'd pulse and restarted the daemon. Then it worked again.
I saved the .pulse folder, attached. ** Attachment added: "dotpulse.tgz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/31175799/dotpulse.tgz -- Pulse audio queues audio and gets locked to the app PID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411962 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
