As said, unless you have some voodoo SW on your machine, that is not possible. If mplayer uses jack, it doesn not know anything about the sound card. Not the sample format, not the number of channels, only the sample frequency. > Another problem: when starting Jack with a 2 channels sound card, > Mplayer can't output more than 2 channels. Again, mplayer can't know this. Your are probably running on some other soundcard, not using Jack. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
