Thanks Carmen. I'll have a look at that tomorow. It's getting a bit late here now, and my brains feeling a bit fried. My jack-audio-connection-kit on FC2 is only version-0.99.36-0.2.cvs.rhfc2.ccrma, so perhaps I may have problems with that. Are these denormals problems you are talking about that are causing the jackd segfaults? I'll also have a good look at Mplayer to make sure it's using Alsa. The version I have installed is MPlayer-1.0pre7try2.tar.bz2. I'll look for an update for it, and also for FFMPEG. Nigel.
