Hah!,
That worked:
$ mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0 -loop 0 -playlist
http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/KDAQHD2.pls
Though I'm quite curious why since this is card 0, it wasn't selected by
default the first time I tried?
This may be the result of me having started fluxbox desktop and X
triggering the sound setup. I only have one sound card (and it's Alt on device:2)
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: AD1984A Analog [AD1984A Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 2: AD1984A Alt Analog [AD1984A Alt Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I'm also not sure just what X starts as far as the sound system goes as I
use startx to launch fluxbox, so there isn't any desktop manager launching the
desktop. All I do is launch the pulse-audio systray volume app on fluxbox
startup, e.g. in ~/.fluxbox/startup:
## pulse-audio volume control
pasystray=$(type -p pasystray)
[ -x "$pasystray" ] && "$pasystray" &
Next reboot I'll try ssh and mplayer start as above and see if it will work
without any X desktop having been previously started.
Thank you for your help!
