I posted a topic about this on the Ubuntu user forums (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2354233#post2354233), but I figured LAU was well-suited for this query as well: Lately I've been using an external USB synthesizer as my main soundcard in ubuntu (much better than my onboard) but a lot of apps I use don't support JACK, which is the only way (and the preferable way) to get audio output. The one app that I really wish worked with JACK (out of the box) was Mplayer. I really want JACK audio output with mplayer, but I don't want to compile mplayer myself. Does anyone know of a binary .deb of mplayer that contains support for JACK (ala mplayer -ao jack) ? I can't find any related topics about this; perhaps it's just me? I'm running Edgy:
$ mplayer -ao help MPlayer 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) (Family: 6, Model: 10, Stepping: 0) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
