Hello list, there's another problem I encountered with the a52 plugin *sigh*... I have it setup so it does routing and then A52 encoding. Everything works beautifully using xmms. Some movies play just fine with mplayer. Others don't. I have no idea why. When a movie doesn't play, it shows weird behaviour: the video is playing *extremely* slowly, the audio plays just fine for about the first 100 seconds. Then mplayer gets so out of sync that it commits suicide in a way. Here is some output: At first: A: 2.0 V: 0.6 A-V: 1.420 ct: 0.022 12/ 10 ??% ??% ??,?% 5 0 Later on: A: 10.6 V: 1.7 A-V: 8.939 ct: 0.065 40/ 37 5% 1% 5.9% 32 0 You can see that while the audio stream is at 10.6 seconds, the video stream is still stuck at 1.7 seconds - 8.94 seconds delay. After a while, it does the following: Broken frame at 0x295AF0 A: 113.1 V: 15.9 A-V: 97.228 ct: 0.165 380/377 1% 1% 5.9% 350 0 Zu viele Videopakete im Puffer: (3742 in 8388936 Bytes). Vielleicht spielst du eine(n) nicht-interleaved Stream/Datei, oder der Codec funktioniert nicht. Versuche bei AVI-Dateien, den nicht-interleaved Modus mit der Option -ni zu erzwingen. [AO_ALSA] Schreibfehler: Broken pipe [AO_ALSA] Versuche Reset der Soundkarte. A: 113.1 V: 15.9 A-V: 97.230 ct: 0.169 381/378 1% 1% 5.9% 350 0 Or translated (by me, mplayer doesn't seem to do i18n) Broken frame at 0x295AF0 A: 113.1 V: 15.9 A-V: 97.228 ct: 0.165 380/377 1% 1% 5.9% 350 0 Too many pakets in videobuffer: (3742 in 8388936 Bytes). Maybe you're playing a non-interleaved stream/file, or the codec isn't working. Try to force non-interleaved mode with AVI-files with the -ni command line option. [AO_ALSA] Write error: Broken pipe [AO_ALSA] Trying to reset sound card. A: 113.1 V: 15.9 A-V: 97.230 ct: 0.169 381/378 1% 1% 5.9% 350 0 When I pass the -ao alsa:noblock option to mplayer, the error looks differnt: A/V doesn't get out of sync, but I get *tons* of this error message: [AO_ALSA] Write error: Resource temporarily unavailable 1.0% 51 0 [AO_ALSA] Trying to reset sound card. [AO_ALSA] Error preparing pcm: Device or resource busy And the audio breaks up permanently (sounding horrible). When I play directly (not using the A52 plugin, it works - but then I only get audio through my front speakers, which is not what I want). Is this an ALSA or mplayer problem? I hope someone knows...
