I replaced my simple .asoundrc:

pcm.!default {
     type hw
     card 1
     device 0
}


with yours but with no improvement (I even rebooted to be sure - I have 
had so much problem with audio in the past):

- mplayer works fine in isolation

- YouTube works in isolation

- Mumble works in isolation

- If I have Mumble open, mplayer does not work

- If I have YT running, mplayer does not work

etc

It would be nice to pause whatever I am using ie NOT have to exit the 
program, and use another audio app and then come back to where I left 
off with the first app . .

Thanks,

Phil.
